Interruption
I was going to celebrate the FTC making it easier to cancel subscriptions (common sense? Who knew that was still a thing?): FTC “click to cancel” rule seeks to end free trial traps, sneaky auto-enrollments. Also, "industry trade groups" (and the Chamber of Commerce) are the worst kinds of assholes.Anyway, that's what I was going to write about. Then this kid showed up:
That salmon's between 7-10 pounds. It doesn't look quite as large in the picture because it's turned a bit, but it's big.
There were about a dozen people on the river fishing, and no one else was catching anything. This guy, though, caught five fish in about twenty-five minutes. All of them were 5+ pounds.
It wasn't an accident.
He was close to the fish ladder (best location). He was using a fly rod, and pitching instead of casting (more precise). He was stripping line quickly to retrieve the bait (higher volume of casts).
All in all, a fishing masterclass. Plus, as soon as he got the hook out, he let them go.
