High Hooked



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.
