Late Season's Greeting & Great Humor

I just received a late season's greeting from my teacher (& a great friend also). It was (using "was" as I ate it already) a chocolate shaped like bass. Chocolate itself was pretty good too.

Then in the back of the box, there is (using "is" as I saved it and put on the wall) my kind of humor and joke. Though it's already February, everybody together!!

And one more!!

I don't use bait or pole but,

Right, thank you for finishing my sentence, Mr. Bass.

So far, my new year has been exactly "fishy" by which I mean"looks both promising and discouraging but who knows?" = exactly like fly-fishing!!

Wish everyone out there has started a happy "fishy" new year!!
