Wife Lea and I live on a Bay Area lagoon which has striped bass in residence. Last year we had our g-daughter Lily for an overnight. Went fishing with her off our float and I hooked a 26″ striper. “Here, Lily, you reel it in.” Her eyes actually sparkled as the fish got closer – and bigger; then almost popped out when we netted it. Goes to prove, as I have told many folks, there is way more to fishing than catching fish!
Other than things like the above, I have, since retiring many years ago, contributed very little to society – and enjoyed every minute of it…
