Some situations just cry out for a camera.
Saw a guy carrying a spinning rod near Granville Island today he was just about to set up in the back bay south of the Island.
So I had to open my mouth-'Gonna catch some Springs'?
He must have heard the scorn/incredulity in my voice because he responded 'I caught a Trout this big here two days ago'.
I burst out laughing even harder and all but called him a liar-because I know he was lying.
I told him there hadn't been anything but baitfish washed in by the tide in False Creek (which as you know is the ditch in downtown Vancouver) for over 50 years but he insisted he was in the right.
I told him there had been a net pen in that bay in the early 80's for a one day tournament maybe that's why he was cleaning up on the Sea Runs and he agreed. :
I took a close look @ his tackle-7' spinning rod/reel and a 3' gang troll with 2 large Gooey Bobs on the hook-this was his casting outfit!
About then he was really choked @ my making fun of him and I was laughing so hard I was choking so I left.
Anyway it was a nice sunny afternoon to sit by the water on a falling tide.

You just never know when you will run into the right person at the right time that they are ready to SNAP, they reach into their bag or jacket, pull out a gun and blow your fa king head off and laugh at you with your brains splattered everywhere. In todays society this IS a REALITY, just the other day in the lower mainland there was a situation where two drivers had an encounter that ended just as described above, it has happened before and sadly can and will likely happen again. So going around and prevoking people (stangers) that you have no idea where their headspace is at that moment that you taunt them is IMO asking for trouble. You are obviously free to do, and seem to do what you like when you like, just not interested in reading in the paper in the future that a fisherman found on the warf shot to death with a fishing pole shoved up his a$$.
Seeing your avatar, it looks as though you have kids or grandkids, nieces or nephews, surely they are worth living for, so why ask for troubles?
