Short story

[vdisney]

No fish porn, just a short story.  The other day we went to the pier as usual, when we arrived there was a father son team already fishing.  The kid was maybe 10 years old and fishing with a 3 foot $9.99 Walmart special, but he was fishing.  A little later I saw my father fighting what appeared to be a big hunk of kelp, so I went over to assist him.  I started hand lining for him while he reeled.  Just before it surfaced, I saw a rod and reel attached to his line.  It was a 7' Daiwa rod with a fairly high end Daiwa reel on it, plus a full spool of braid.  It must have gone in the evening before because it looked perfect and reeled smooth.  Then I thought about the kids combo and asked his father would he like this for his son.  The father was really grateful and the kid was ecstatic.  I explained to his dad they needed to take the reel to a shop and have it serviced.  The kid was strutting around like a Banti Rooster with his new setup, cannot remember the last time I felt so warm and bubbly inside.  Life is good

Good deal, I'm sure that kid won't forget that!

Wow, right on Verne!  I'm sure there is someone really bummed on losing their rig the night before, but the donation to the younger generation will be much more rewarding especially for acts of kindness like that.

Bravo sir!
