This little guy definitely bit off more than he could chew.  He's hooked in both the mouth and the dorsal fin.

Atta boy Mike! Although I'm not sure one dink is enough to take the crown away from Burley....he's a couple hundred dinks ahead of you.

;D

Burley is also known as "Mr. Dinky."  

What's with that hat?  

Mike, you're good.  With my help, you could be the best.

What's with that hat?

I tackled a little old lady and took it away from her.  With the exception of that trailer ball perched on the end of my nose, the hat shades my entire head.  Besides, I lost my coon-skin cap.

That explains it.  The first thing I thought was, "Where are the flowers that were in the hat band?"

Nice fish!

I thought maybe this was going to be another "guess the the weight"

thread. You didn't ask, but I would still say something a little less than

5 lbs.

Great pic and I like the hat!

Nice RW! Your closest guess yet!

Hey I'm 27 years old and I'm already looking for a hat like that. My baseball caps are just to hot in the hot humid summer months here. My late grandmother used to work out in the yard allot and she sported a wide collection of them. I guess when I get one I have to make sure it's in manly camo color.

Burley's favorite song is a Jimmy Durante tune, for those old enough to remember him.

Ink, a dink, a dink,..........a dink, a dink, a dink a doo.

That's a better idea than Mike knocking down an old lady and taking hers.

You beat me to it Cart. I was thinking of the old gal from Hee-Haw.

Were you going for the "Indiana Mike" look?

A nickname from high school or college maybe!  ;D  

That lure looks mighty familiar

For what it's worth, the hat is made by Colombia Sportswear.  The black part around the hat is actually a mesh that allows air movement across the head.  The underside of the brim is made of black material to reduce glare.  I bought it at Academy Sports.
