[SAUERKRAUT]

The friend asked Sauerkraut to take him fishing. Cheap sh!t that he is, Alan fixed him up with some garbage bin tackle...

Cheapo maybe. But No way crappy tackle! I rewrapped that old 9.5 ft. honey Lamiglas rod from my boyhood with a new, modest but modern guide set this past winter in a moment of extreme boredom. That reel is a an old Diawa 4000C I found over 30 years ago in a beach buggy track where it must have fallen off somebody's rack, and was being run over all night long. I completely took the reel apart, regreased it, and relined it with some old braid I was replacing on another reel.

Worn out braid, too? Classy guy.

What do you mean "worn out braid"? You should know that, before that kid caught that fish, I had to CUT OUT and blood knot splice THREE huge braid birds nests, that the youngster delivered me! And so with 3 bankside blood knots in the line, he then hooks up.

Do not ever criticize my knot tying abilities again!
