I've been fishing for twenty years, maybe even longer, work, obligations and I can't make it. My son last year, we went fishing once and he caught a fish, pulled the line and said there was no fish, it didn't catch and gave up. He was little when he was little, now he's interested in fishing again, but he broke the reel in the meantime. I got another one but I can't get it to work. So we'll have to try again.
