In repsonse to another thread on here I would like to say that my parents caught more fish than I could ever dream about. They had a 10 foot john boat with a small trolling motor, no electronics and no fancy rods or reels. Mostly Zebco 33's and always kept their freezer full of fish. I would be safe to say they enjoyed every minute on the water as much as anyone. I only wish I will live to fish as much as they did.
