Fishermen’s TalesFishermen’s Tales
See how much the rod bends when even a small fish is lifted out of the water. Holding the rod takes much greater effort that you need to lift the weight of the fish.

beer bellies are bad for backs
big bottoms are better- they are attached to your hips, not your back
(and they counterbalance anything you lift!)
