I can sure relate to this thread. Most of the pictures we have around the house of my daughters (now 19 and 25) and me are of us fishing, but that was over ten years ago. Not so much anymore. First it was hair and nails that were more important, then boys. Both claim their boyfriends are avid fishermen, I know one is right. A couple weeks ago I was unloading my truck after a month on the Cape. I had six rods leaning against my fence by the driveway. Younger one's bf shows up, makes some small talk and grabs one of my spinners. He's holding it out in front of himself, upside down with the reel on top. "Mister B, you got some nice stuff here. I could do some real damage with a setup like this." I said, "Well let's not damage anything with the rod, OK?" No sooner do I get the words out of my mouth he makes a mock cast, with his hands at the very end of the rod handle like he was holding a baseball bat, over does it and smacks the rod tip down on my driveway knocking the porcelain piece out of the tip. Without missing a beat he says, "Wow, this baby's got some nice action, maybe I could borrow it sometime." "Yeeeaaaah, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon."

Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish. ~Herbert Hoover
