So they are like gar....hmm anyone up for some of that on the Cumby?
My cousin is from Curacao which is NE off of South America. He grew up fishing with a hook, line and a soda bottle. They'd poke a hole in the back of the bottle and tie the line off to something that won't pull through. Then, push the line into the bottle leaving just the hook exposed where the cap would be. He gave us a how-to "cast" one day. He'd spin it around like a lasso and flip it out the line would shoot out like off a spinning reel.
Craziest thing I ever seen...
