A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip.

He began his day with an 8 Lb walleye on the first cast and a 7 Lb on the second. On the third cast he had just caught his first ever walleye over 11 pounds when his cell phone rang.

It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible
accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.

The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that
he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving
what was shaping up to be his best day ever on the water.

He decided to get in a couple of more casts before heading to the
hospital He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip
with a stringer like he'd never seen, with 3 walleye over 10 pounds. He
was jubilant.... Then he remembered his wife.

Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the
corridor and asked about his wife's condition.
The doctor glared at him and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished
your fishing trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you
were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond your wife
has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and
finished because it will be more than likely the last fishing trip you ever
take!'

'For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care.
And, you'll
be her care giver forever!'

The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.

The doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just messin' with ya. She's
dead.
What'd you catch?'
