We all learn lessons along the way while fishing (or at least we should). Here are a couple I've learned.

Lessons I’ve Learned (Some the hard way)

1. Learned twice (before I got my drivers license) - When a stripers tail enters the wheel spokes of a 10 speed bike it becomes a very good brake. A bigger bass tail is an even better brake. (I’m sure some canal fishermen can relate.)

2. Don’t walk 15 feet behind a caster who is swinging an 11 foot rod with 6 feet of line between rod tip and plug. ( A friend of mine learned that one at 3am on a wave swept Block Island bar.)

Any to add?
