Crappy Fisherman
I have caught, I think, 4, maybe 5 fish in my life, and I am 66 years old. Two were 8" catfish from a neighbor's pond, and the rest were finger size panfish. Threw them all back.
I have stood beside my daughter while she reeled in one after another and I caught nothing, using the same bait and tackle, casting into the same hole. It was discouraging, so I gave away all my fishing stuff.
Finally decided to give it another try and bought some stuff this summer. Our area of southern Indiana has a lot of small flood control lakes that the state has stocked. Blue River is just over the hill from us, but it is so dry here at the moment that I saw 2 catfish headed down stream carrying canteens....
The drought has the fishing worms dug SO deep in the ground that when I dug looking for some, the only one I saw had a box of Chinese takeout food and some bottled water....
