Well, I will take that as panegyric. To those pulling out a
dictionary, cannot laud you enough, seriously. Language, and communication has
fallen over the years. Granted I do use some anachronistic, and sesquipedalian
words, they are more contemporary than one would believe. Consider that the
average newspaper is written at a middle schools reading level, and that new York
times, and other haughty media/news sources only reach grade 11. Gives you an
idea how far we have fallen in communication. No matter how many times I have said this “my respect and praise goes out to the individuals who educate themselves, and thirst for knowledge” Any person who takes the time out to look up a word however common is actively bettering themselves, with this action can inspire others around them to equally do the same. Anyone left behind, still nonplussed/confused speak up! I will personally make it my life goal to explain it, your effort to learn, and meliorate/improve yourself is a dying aspect of our species/culture…one that cannot be stressed enough! No humiliation attributed in doing so, I know what
it is like to be a neophyte. Sucks crawling from the bottom afraid to ask a
question only to be scoffed off at its trivialness. I implore critical thinking. NO INDIVIDUAL WHO RESPECTFULLY ASKS SHOULD BE TURNED AWAY. Honestly, I work my arse off to ameliorate myself in ALL areas. Yes, I have to look up words in the newspaper as well. Speaking personally, any individual who does the same is AWESOME. A college degree outside of engineering, Attorney, MD, et cetera is what
college is for, along with those furthering a profound mastery of their subject. A degree is not to pay for ideations/ideologies. Most jobs outside the fields
outlined can be taught with on the job training. Unfortunately our times are warped, one can make money on
certifications worth diddly squat predating on those. Showing nothing other than time/money paid
for one’s due, NOT what they have gleaned is insulting. I could go on a rant, desperately avoiding it. This is my
altruistic act, small, insignificant possibly? Something meaningful to me that
can benefit anyone around in some form or fashion within my power to be granted because I experience the same struggle. All that
I glean gets passed on with little cost aside from curiosity. The proverb “Give a man a fish, and you'll
feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish,
and you've fed him for a lifetime." Rings true no matter
how I analyze it, so there you go teaching to fish instead of. Thank you for the praise, I laud you for the
effort, and true emotions behind it. |

Well said..I had to read it 10 times but...well said!
Reminded me of a funeral i went to a few weeks ago, old Dick that lived around the corner from me, died on his 92nd birthday. (whats the odds born and died on the same day yet 92 years later) His son read a great eulogy, and in it he said that when old Dick retired he spent the next 30 years wearing out a dictionary which made buying him a gift easy, as he literally read them back to front and wore them out, so was always up for a new one. Now old Dick was right up till the day he passed, as bright as a button, he was full off fun and always quick with a witty remark. His son put Dicks great outlook on life down to knowledge, to the fact that everyday Dick searched for something new to learn and found joy in doing so. I look forward to retiring and finding the time someday to do similiar. |

Nicho- This hit home in so many ineffable ways. My uncle
Bob, avuncular unfortunately, taught me numerous life lessons. This bugger
shaped me into the individual I am by his presence alone. A true boon to be
around, and a great fisherman most of all. This bastard was an inspiration to
be persistent and unnatural. Couldn’t describe his perspicacity, he was well
rounded, most of all bested me in common sense. Each complex problem always
appeared easy to him, he conveyed it to you in the most personal way any child
could comprehend. Live each day hoping to achieve his grandeur, perhaps
nostalgia? Doubtful in my humble opinion .Without rebuke Bob W. Bishop is
something to reach for on my time on this earth. Bet there are many akin to him
cropping up in our dear reader’s minds! The SOLE reason I stand as a pean of this and other crafts
is due to him. That silly bastard had a mysterious way about him, conniving you
to achieve the best through clever taunting. My lures were basic, lacking any
soul whatsoever….could have rested there an been happy, but that tinge of his
words made me keep going. “Not bad, when are you going to add detail to them?”
A friendly barb placed with surgeon accuracy of spoke in person of which I will
never forget. I can be difficult to reach believe it or not, he knew me best of
all. One word off with the wrong emotion, and poof! A single syllable and cadence
that would p!ss me off. This ruddy guy played me, can’t explain it at this
moment, just humble he did. Reading that response made me beam, and remember. Bet Dick touched many lives, so not a wasted
in his pursuit and desire to expound. If it not too much trouble could I, or we
hear more??? Anyone willing to share I appreciate, one listener present. Just to add, almost threw this avocation away if it wasn’t
for one buggers cheeky words. Met some decent blokes, obtained some friendships
to keep me going from a few silly words. Strange how the world works??? Not to divagate his thread, just wish to hear a few
inspiring stories like Dick, and Bob? Keep this at me workbench always |

Amazing craftsmanship. Trout and redfin would love them. One of my favourite go to lures is a crawldad lure in a brown colour.
