My dad used to take me fishing (even though he didn't like to fish -- I found out later) for sunnies and such. What got me "hooked" was when I caught a 3-4 lb largemouth bass on some cheepo spoon on a Zebco 202. The reel was so old, lame, and poorly maintained that I couldn't reel it in. My friend and I hand-lined it in .... I was 8 I think. We had it weighed at a local small town grocerette. This was back in the mid 60's in the south.

Never looked back

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
