Lets face it old school has it tough. For exmple

Old school needs nail clipper to cut line--teeth no
longer come together. New School still got teeth.

Old school needs to put on specs in addition to light.
Fingers no longer able to tie knots by feel alone.
New School should not need either, should learn to
tie knot by feel.

Happy New Year new and old school.

Old school - likes to fish alone
New school - has to fish with 3 other guys

Old school - Gear is falling apart, but lots of time to use it
New school - top of the line gear, but no time to use it

Old school - makes a fish call after the fishing dies
New school - On the cell phone while fighting the first fish

Old school - exaggerates catches because of failing memory
new school - exaggerates catches to inflate ego
