And it's the TRUTH!

Why not? Recently we went fishing in the neighborhood. Claudette caught some shellcrackers but I only caught a cold. I have never been that good of a fisherman. I took my little brother fishing once. i guess he was about ten of twelve. I outfitted him with a Zebco 202 spinning tackle outfit and a weedless hook with a plastic worm. He didn't catch but one fish. But that fish melted down the plastic gears in the 202 and we landed the fish by pulling it in by grabbing the line. We were at a farm pond. i don't know what the large mouth bass weighed but when he put it in his bicycle basket to show it off in the neighborhood it overhung the sides. I cleaned the fish for cooking. I had to fight off the family cat and almost never cut through the backbone. (It was as big as my thumb!) That may have been the last time we went fishing together. And I don't know if he's been fishing since.
