In my case, I'd rather lose a line $70 fly line, $15 backing, $5 leader, and a $5 fly,
than a $250 fly reel and a $500 fly rod.

Seriously, one never knows what size fish they're going to hook onto.
A buddy of mine, while we were camping in Alaska, had his daughter throw in a
wad of fishing line, which was wrapped around her arm, and a lure into a
small river, when a local told him that was dangerous because some big fish
could hook itself and drag her into the water.

Just got out of the boat. Finished retying, and changing baits getting ready for tomorrows tounament. Looks like a great day for bass. 35-45 degrees, cloudy and rain with wind. Sounds great, huh?

Me and a friend went up to my uncle's pond today and caught 25 bass (no monsters, just about good eatin' sized) and 37 bream.
Too bad all that reelin' and baitin' cut into my beer drinkin', but I did manage to shoot a few fish-snatchin' turtles.

I've been thinking about getting one of these for lake fishing.
Only problem is their expensive, at $775.
You can carry it on your back since they only weigh 5 lbs.
They look like fun.
