I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

Excellent 👌 It seems quite frequent for guys to go back to fishing after a long time. Took me about 25 years to find in fishing the same passion as my late grandfather. But now I’m hooked 😬

Haha, I was going to use that pun earlier, reel-y.
