Red and Les wrote this song in 19-- and thought it was going to "be the one" to make their mark in the world of country music.
As the Red and Les legend goes, Barbara Mandrell and George Jones were scheduled to record it. Unfortunately for them, and for Barbara, she had her nearly fatal auto accident on the way to the studio. I wonder how Red's life would have been different if the universe had allowed that song to be recorded...
Sittin' on a bank with a pole in my hand,
I gotta buncha worms in a rusty cofffee can,
Thinking about when I was your man...
That's why they call it fishin' not catchin.
...
Chorus:
Fishin Not Catchin ain't the place to be,
and I sure miss your company, I wish that you were here by me,
that's why they call it fishin' not catchin'.
