When I was a kid, I use to get a laugh out of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman. A fishing rig small enough to put in your pocket…. Just in case you leave for the Mall and somehow end up at a Fishing Hole🙀

Dusty Hill from ZZ Top also just died. If there is fishing in Heaven, maybe Ron can hook Dusty up with the proper gear….ya nevah no……😳
