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
