Thanks for posting that Chef! Makes you feel like you are right in the boat with them.

I like the last line: "I hope I have made it plain for your readers, so that those who have not caught a bass can realize the sport there is in it."

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

"...all bass caught with live eels should have the hook down in their stomach if handled properly..."

Oh how times have changed!

Great read - thanks!

Great story! Thanks!

I like the part at the end stating the finest hooks were made in Limerick Ireland - it's in my blood
