My grandfather was my fishing partner and he'd sit smoking his pipe with a spinning reel bail open in the back seat. I'd fish fish fish then he'd raise his rod cast then reel in a fish and go back to puffing his pipe. Happend all the time and if I was smarter back then I'd paid more attention to the little things. He looked through completely different eyes than I did fishing and was an exceptional fisherman.
