Fishing can Take A Teenager's Mind Off His/Her Troubles

I don't know anyone who can catch a fish while thinking about his/her troubles or that special someone.  Oh sure, you can put a worm on a hook, attach a bobber and just sit there day dreaming.  A lot of folks do that

 Some are lucky...the fish hooks himself, if you call that fishing.  I call that catching a fish while you were somewhere else.  You might just as well had been standing in line at a fish market...day dreaming.

Naw, fishing requires you concentrating on your bait under water--being awake.  Jiggle it just a little, wait.  Maybe pull it just an inch or two without cranking the reel then  quickly move  that rod back for a little slack.  That's when they're going to get bit by the fish bug.  You can't be thinking about Goldie-locks or Mohawk in the front row of that English class while fishing.  If you do...bam! he/she got away.

The fish was there and you weren't.  I know, so what.  I''m just saying, dude.

It would have been nice if you went back to school and told dream lover that you caught a big one last night.  He, she just might want to go with you next time.  I'm just saying.
