Finally, I got one on 2/3/11. I must have been involved with at least 10 hook ups in 2011. I gave the rod to family, neighbors, new friends and old friends and I finally kept the rod for myself. Tagged and released. Thanks to cmoney7 for taking the photos and attack-a-jack for grabbing the tip.

CLACK CLACK CLACK,
Friends of ours call me VINCE.
You can call me snook hunter.
Clack Clack Clack:I don't know what to do, Godfather. My voice is weak, it's weak. Anyway, if I had this part in the picture, it puts me right back on top, you know. But this... this man out there. He won't give it to me, the head of the studio.
Snook Hunter: What's his name?
Snook Hunter: Woltz. He said there's no chance, no chance...
[Meanwhile, Hagen finds Sonny and summons him]
Clack Clack Clack: A month ago he bought the rights to this book, a best seller. The main character is a guy just like me. I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself. Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do...
[All of a sudden, Snook Hunter rises from his chair and gives Clack Clack Clack a savage shake]
Snook Hunter: YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!
[gives a quick slap to Clack Clack Clack]
Snook Hunter: What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous!
[the Don's unexpected mimicry makes Hagen and even Clack Clack Clack laugh; around this time Sonny comes in]
Snook Hunter: Tell me, do you spend time with your family?
Clack Clack Clack: Sure I do.
Snook Hunter: Good. Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
[gives a quick look at Sonny and affectionately embraces Clack Clack Clack]
Snook Hunter: You look terrible. I want you to eat, I want you to rest well. And a month from now this Hollywood big shot's gonna give you what you want.
Clack Clack Clack: Too late. They start shooting in a week.
Snook Hunter: I'm gonna make him an offer he won't refuse. Okay? I want you to leave it all to me. Go on, go back to the party.
[a gratified Clack Clack Clack leaves]
