My grandpa was a huge fisherman but he was a little shaky for boating or being near water by the time I came around. I actually think he had a stroke the day I was born. I remember riding in a boat with him (his boat that I still use) once or twice but I can’t remember fishing with him much. I’m sure we did though, especially from the bank or the dock. Funny thing is, although I don’t have a lot of personal fishing memories with my grandpa, I can tell you in great detail about dozens and dozens of his fishing trips. We spent most of our time together sitting on the breezeway and he told me all the stories he knew. He also gave me all his lures and had a story for each one. I’ve got a pretty cool shadow box of them, lucky 13s, Mepps spinners with the plastic minnow body, and bayou boogies. I’m already mildly shaky at age 34 so Im creating fishing stories of my own every time I get the chance!!! Haha. Here’s one of the reels he gave me that still use. I also have some 1929 and 1933 reels he gave me but the handle spins when you throw them. I believe “knucklebusters” is what I have heard @WRB refer to them as. I can still cast those too just not far hahah. They are in storage
