I think of the three or four times that I've gone fishing (it might actually be five or six), I've caught maybe two fish, both very small, partially blind and maybe even on the dyslexic side. At any rate, the number of rocks, floating junk like shoes or cans, reeds or grass, and dead wood in the water far exceeds by a factor of at least ten the number of fish I've caught. I have lost many a sinker, hook, powerbait, worm and lure to all those wily snags.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact I haven't been fishing now for at least 12 years. Give or take. :)
