[IC] City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

[Tyler Night]

He kisses her neck then her cheek, kissing her chin and then her lips repeatedly.

"Alright, let's go. I wanna see how fast that turbojet can move the boat."

[DELETED08735]

His lips on her neck felt like sparklers had gone off in Ele's middle, and his sweet accompanying kisses made her smile. She didn't want to stop, already addicted to his affection,

"You're such a dude..."

Ele sighed and shook her head, teasing Tyler,

"C'mon, let's get the boat in the water."

[Tyler Night]

He chuckles and hops out of his car. Walking to the boat he turns on the gas and a small fan. The sound of the turbine spinning can be heard. He flips a switch after it spins up and directed out the back of the turbo is a flame that burns white hot.

"Time to get it in."

He says, dragging it off the trailer and to the edge of the water at the dock.

"Get in babe, we will get going soon."

[DELETED08735]

While Tyler did that, Ele grabbed her bag and the things in the,back of the camaro then did what Tyler said. Placing the things in first, Ele climbed into the boat.

[Tyler Night]

He climbs in just barely in the water. He pulses the engine and the thrust pushes them in the water. He gives it a little throttle and the engine whines. He moves the engine side to side steering the boat.

"At full throttle we will go through 7 gallons of fuel in 15 minutes so we will be light on the throttle."

He moves from the mouth of the river they launched on just to the edge of the bay, shutting the engine off. He looks in the cooler to see what she packed, finding liverwurst. He smiles at her and says.

"Catfish love liver."

He cuts the liverwurst and begins preparing their hooks. He pairs the rods and reels up stretching out the line through each eye on the rod. He drops the hooks off of boat directly below, some 20 feet. He hands her her rod and says.

"Just keep your finger on the line, the catfish out here are pretty sneaky. If you feel a tap it means you are getting a bite, when the bite becomes a steady pull yank the rod back and start reeling."

[DELETED08735]

Taking the rod, Ele got comfortable in her seat. She had memories of one of her mother's boyfriends watching fishing shows, and they had bored a young Ele to death. Ele wanted to try for Tyler though, so she settled into waiting.

[Tyler Night]

He sits there for a few minutes when he feels a tap, smiling he says.

"Here, take my fishing pole. I am getting a bite."

He hands the pole over to her and holds onto the other.

[DELETED08735]

"Wait, wait..."

Tyler putting the new rod in her hands made Ele's eyes go wide, and she felt something suddenly bump the line,

"I don't know how to do this!"

Ele squeaked, holding the rod tightly. Another moment and there was a yank on the line, and the reel began squealing as it unwound.

"Oh my god!"

Grabbing the reel, Ele felt the rod jerk as she pulled back on the rod, waiting to feel a little slack, then reeling in the slack. Doing it again, Ele focused on bringing in the fish.

[Tyler Night]

Smiling he yells out.

"It's a big one!"

He starts reeling in the other line and as he is bringing it in his pole is bent over significantly and he feels a shake.

"AAAH! I got one too."

He says and starts fighting the fish, reeling it with a rhythm. He hears the line ripping out quickly, yanking back causing the fish to stop running, he starts reeling it in, fighting it hard.

[DELETED08735]

Laughing, Ele kept reeling in the line until she hauled a great, big, ugly catfish up the side of the boat.

"What do I do?! What do I do?1"

Grabbing the line, Ele brought the fish into the boat, but the thing flopped around in the air and Ele didn't want to touch it,

"Tyler!"

[Tyler Night]

He reels his in and puts a pair of gloves on, reaching into his fishes mouth, yanking in a 2 and a half foot long channel cat. He turns around to see the catfish flopping around. He grabs Ele's by the mouth as well and yanks the hook out of its mouth. He looks at it and says.

"Congratulations, you caught about a 12 pounder. You wanna keep it or toss it back?"

[DELETED08735]

Calming down once the fish was contained, Ele listened to what her options were,

"Let's throw him back, he's made it this long so he's earned to have some more time. But first, I need to take a picture of this,"

Pulling out her phone, Ele posed next to Tyler with the fish and took a picture of them,

"Going on Instagram as my first catch ever!"

She giggled and smiled at Tyler.

[Tyler Night]

He picks them both up, his is fatter but a couple inches shorter.

"12 and probably 15 pounds. Out here we might see 30 pounders."

He smiles and drops them back in the water.

"I prefer catch and release though catfish is my favorite fish to eat."

[DELETED08735]

"I've never had catfish,"

Ele said, posting her picture and tagging their location on the lake. She shared it to Facebook so her friends would see that she was doing well,

"We have a river that we call the Delta, and its so dirty, gross, and polluted that eating fish out of it is highly discouraged. The catfish there are sooooo ugly!"

[Tyler Night]

"This lake is pretty clean, when you get back here I will be sure to have some catfish at the house."

He says with a smile.

"You know, catfish is fun to catch but you can't experience the lake on the river."

He fires up the engine once again and takes off.

"Your phone have gps?"

[DELETED08735]

Ele nods and brings up the app, then holds her phone out to Tyler.

[Tyler Night]

"Alright. We are going way out."

He gets up to speed, the engine propelling them so fast that they skim the surface of the water. After about 2 minutes he turns down the speed but continues traveling. As he comes to a stop he looks around, no land in sight.

"Look around, nothing out here."

[DELETED08735]

The trip out to the deeper water was fun, and the speed made Ele laughed as they skipped over the water. As they slowed, Ele looked around them. It felt like they were stranded.

"You could kill me now and no one would ever know."

Ele teased. With the sun out, she tipped her head back and let the sun warm her skin. Though the Bay was beautiful where she lived, it was also quite cold and foggy, so Ele enjoyed the sun whenever she could.

[Tyler Night]

"Well they could, they do have camera's at the launch. They put camera's in cuz lots of people were dumping trash in or across the river, though it has been years since it was such a bad habit by people out here."

He rigs up a hula popper with a swivel and 3 feet of steel leader.

"This lure here is one of the best lures you can use and it is also a very easy to use one. We will teach you how to cast an open face reel."

He stands up on the boat. Being a flat bottom, it is sturdy. He flips the wire on the top of the reel up and holds the line in place. Looking behind him he brings his arms back and with some force whips the rod forward and releases the line, casting the lure a good 8th of a mile out. Flipping the top piece back in place he sits down.

"You don't need to stand to do it."

[DELETED08735]

Watching Tyler, Ele smiled as she watched him cast way out from them,

"You don't need to stand, but it gives you a chance to show off to your girlfriend just how far you can cast, right?"

She teased, moving so she could put her head on his shoulder and hand on his knee.

"I never really understood fishing, but then again what I know of it comes from it being the only thing on TV."
