A homely tale!
This short story was quite cute to be honest! It evoked images of an old man, sitting on a rocking chair, telling his grandkids abut the time that he went fishing with his Uncle Charlie, about seeing the mighty Satchel and almost catching him!
This is my third book by Bill Stokes and one thing I have to say about the man, and its that he can write, and write extremely well at that. His style of writing is like very descriptive and homely. It brings to mind tales that your grandfather would tell you, of being surrounded by family and listening to the same stories again, and again but never getting bored because the storyteller can tell it well. I hope Bill Stokes brings us more books!!
Johnny Mack did a great job bringing the descriptive writing to life. His tones and inflections were well done and he made the book really enjoyable to listen to.

A Whale of a Tale!
I love this story so much! It reminds me so much of some of the fishy stories my grandfather used to tell us while fishing from the dam. Every lake or river has some sort of giant monster living in it, real or imagined. I've seen a gigantic snapping turtle near our dock, but the memory of it is much larger than the actual turtle. I'd have liked to meet uncle Charlie. Nice job on the narration.
