O,
see him now within the boat
About
to cast a fly.
He
twirls his rod, then lets it go
Upon the lake to lie.
But
did it fly across the lake?
O, no, a turn it took,
Then
caught him where his pants hang loose,
Which made him out high hook
c. July 31, ‘10
high-hook n. The most successful one of several
fishermen; the one who takes the most fish with his line: also used
adjectively. Also high-line.
