Gar fishing and fish signs on a weekend trip

They discuss UFOs or satellites as a light in the sky, share jokes about gar being inedible, fail to catch much, and end the day with four crappie and a six inch catfish. The note ends with a line from the Saturday Review about Bill Worthington rereading the Bible.
