I listen to others here, and try to "invent" other products the
fishermen need, without people like me, and Joe, you all would still be
using a cane pole and a safety pin to fish with.

It's amazing just how much ego these electronic "rooms" can hold.


Say what you want, but EVERYTHING you fish with was invented by someone,
and most of the inventors MADE MONEY for doing it, they did it to make
money, it's the way they make their livings, it may be a sport to you
but to them it is a sport and their livelihood. Most of those products
you use were not invented by mega companies, but by individual fishermen
who decided to go into the fishing business . Of course you would rather
the MEGA companies be the only ones that profit from your sport.

I don't know what your day job is, but you would not consider it an ego,
you would just call it being good at your job, it's no big deal to you

Fishing, and inventing new, "better" means to do it, is my day JOB, it's
no big deal to me, it's just what I do, of the hundreds who do it, I'm
just one of them, and you must be very good at it, to make a living from
it. If your not, none of your inventions will get licensed by those MEGA
Tackle companies.

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it :-)
