When I was a kid, my grandfather and I would go fishing all the time. We would head out into the wild and spend the whole day by the lake.
What kind of fish did you catch?
It's been so long, I don't even remember! I mostly just remember the fishing itself..
I used to go fishing all the time when I was younger as well. What was your favorite part?
Just trying to catch the fish, I think. Mostly we did angling and netting. A few times I tried spearing and catching one with my hands, but it was a disaster!!
For me it was the thrill of finally reeling it and winning. I have never done spearing. What is that like?
It's pretty much the most frustrating thing in the world. Something else I loved: all the different lures that my grandfather had.
I loved all the lures as well. My step-father at the time helped me start my own tackle box and would give me gifts to help fill it up.
Fishing tackle
Fishing tackle is the equipment used by anglers when fishing. Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called fishing tackle. Some examples are hooks, lines, sinkers, floats, rods, reels, baits, lures, spears, nets, gaffs, traps, waders and tackle boxes.
Gear that is attached to the end of a fishing line is called "terminal tackle". This includes hooks, leaders, swivels, sinkers, floats, split rings and wire, snaps, beads,
of phrase, like, that I remembered as something as a kid. You know, my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, the whole family, were involved in carnival business and, like, circus business, so as a kid, we would get dragged to these things, and we'd have to spend all this time there. And that was just one of the attractions I remember, what they would call the trained animals, you know, educated horses."
