Great story, Theo. It brings back wonderful memories of catching carp in the Ohio River and bullheads in my grandpa's pond on an old Zebco 202 almost 50 years ago. I remember those fish much better than the ones I caught 2 weeks ago.
:D That carp was caught on a little 5'6" (Bronson) rod with the Zebco 202 Grandpa gave me! It was the first reel I mounted on a pole; I remember thinking what a huge improvement it was over the reel that came with the rod.

That rod, now sporting a Zebco 33 Legacy, is currently my daughter's favorite. She gets some "reely" good casts out of it.
