What kind of bait is he cutting...what's he fishing for? Did he catch any fish? Did he share with you? Did you go with him? I love to go fishin' but can't stand the taste of fish...go figure!!! :-)

David, I did fish for one summer with my older brother & at the end of that summer I said to myself -& to anyone who would listen- "I am going back to school" LOL. It gave me a new appreciation for these fisherpersons "plus" I do not like getting up at 3 in the morning.
