A five pound fish feels heavier than it really is. I look like I'm trying to pick up a thirty pound barbell. With 1970s sunglasses on. A bass has rows of teeny tiny little teeth that feel like pinpricks, so I don't like holding them by the mouth.

My personality and fishing don't go together, but I am trying to learn how to be patient. What happens is that the fish will bite for an hour then stop completely. I will get my bait tangled up in the trees or a stump several times, get pissed off about it, and give up. I'm learning how to fish with worms (usually I catch them with spinners or minnows). It requires a good jerk in the opposite direction once you get a bite, and I keep losing the fish by jerking in the wrong direction, too soon, too late, etc.
