About this time last year I walked up to the self checkout at Walmart, it have over $250 due on the register. I told the closest employee the guy with 5 kids just went out the door, he didn't even attempt to stop him.
Don't do much trout fishing, however I've probably used more 8lb test over the years than any other size. Even had a partner that use it flipping jigs in Florida. Thrown a ton of cranks even in Truman and got them out of trees etc.
Last week bluegill were being harassed behind the docks where the boat is parked. Then Monday I saw about a 4 pound bass cruising the edge, in the back of Big Bay.
Out of all the times my grandpa took me fishing as a kid, I remember the bait catching more than the fish caught. We alway caught our own bait, dig worms, catch hoppers and little frogs, seine a few crawdad and minnows, scour riffles and grab hellgramites by hand (takes some skill). Great times and really learned a lot about nature. Oh and occasionally find a big wasp nest to use the pupa for bait.
Tell the Doc if you've ever had a bad blow to the head. My Dad had problems with his, they said the cateracts fell into the back of his eye. Didn't make much sense but he's the only person I've heard of that had problems.
