I don't have a cute story, but I'll share it nevertheless. A couple of years ago, I went to Arkansas with a bunch of friends. Being a total fishing newbie, I bought a fishing rod and bunch of plastic baits of different sizes from a Walmart and spent a whole day "fishing" in lake Ouashita. Within the first ten minutes of fishing, a tiny fish almost got caught, but it fell off the hook just as I was about to hold it. Encouraged by my early half-success, I spent the rest of the day sitting on a boat, but I had no luck whatsoever
