Angler Trivia:

I hold the family record for most trips to the emergency room for hook removal (two in one summer...Woo-Hoo!).
I watched an ABA partner catch a 3 ft. alligator on the Red River using a Ribbit; needless to say, we cut the line).
I have yet to catch a double digit bass, but I live in perpetual hope.
