I'm not really all that great at fishing. In fact, most of the fish I have eaten in my life was caught by my FiL. He's that guy on the river bank catching fish while you're (like me) getting skunked. Pretty fucking irritating watching someone next to you limit out and leave, when you've caught nothing. By the same token, when I DID catch a fish, there was nothing better than a pan-fried rainbow trout that was caught only an hour earlier.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
