weapon of choice
if my memory is correct i've been fishing 4 times on my trip, and if my maths is correct that makes it 4 times in my life. the first was in uruguay, then there was brazil and bolivia and most recently los llanos here in venezuela. somehow despite this relatively little experience i've managed to maintain a 100% record and caught fish each time. i'm not claiming this as having any inherent skill or talent at attracting fish to some food that i'm dangling in the water, but you the statistics speak for themselves. of course, as with all statistics, you have to examine them further to decide whether there's any worth behind them. while fishing in los llanos i caught the first catch of the day after about 5 minutes. then nothing for the next hour as two chinese guys got into double figures. i was always better at sprinting than long distance. still i did feel some sense of pride that the five of us with fishing lines and bait managed to outscore the fisherman with a net. i mean if we had free choice of weapons then i would have brought a bugzapper like (spanish speaking) homer simpson
