I was with a Cast and Rod, open, reel--with Bobber Fishing

I was with a Cast and Rod, open Reel
Bobber, Sinker, and with
Baited Night Crawler--on--HOOK
F--I--S--H--I--N--G
CASTING
PRAYIN
To be catching
SomeTHING
And
-------HOPIN
And
---------WISHING

That I WILL-CATCH
Any little FISH
And
S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G

So I kept, saying
Just--ONE-MORE-CAST

And that would be
My FINAL, CAST
And
Very
  LAST

So I just kept
FISHIN
  PRAYIN
And
    WISHIN
Just--ONE
M--O--R--E
CAST

And that would be MY
FINAL---CAST--and
L--A--S--T

So I kept WISHIN
And a--FISHIN

And CAUGHT a--FISH
Or even got a--FISH-BITE
Of--NOTHIN

The
ONLY
  BITE
   That
     I
      GOT

Here in--Minnesota
Was NOT-a-BIG--WALLEYE--FISH, or Great--Northern
But was----ALOT, of little Buzzing Mosquito
Bites all over my arms and neck--ALOT

The FISH, I saw them, in the River out and moving ABOUT
And Heard them --up-and-Jumping and crashing on the water
T-H-U-M-P-I-N-G

But not any even one came to
MY, HOOK-LINE-and-SINKER
With Rod --for me to
REEL--IN

So I tried my
BEST---TODAY
A--N--Y--W--A--Y

And
Did
Not
Get
A
Single
Bite
Or
A
FISHISH
But will
Try again
Another--Fishin--Wishin
PrayIn---------DAY
