Having ocassionally blasted some excess gold (December '03 letter cause one to lose perspective sometimes) on fishing, I have come to a few conclusions. These conclusions may be seen most clearly in the results of a little experiment that I ran using a Strength + Rod, 20 cans of A grade bait, 3 wasted hours and the Bass'ken lake community.

I actually managed to catch all 360 fish that I snagged, missing not a one. Here are my tallies:
8 Gray Stripers
11 Blue Stripers
37 Brown Bass
32 Green Bass
107 Yellow Guppies
111 Orange Guppies
17 Big Old Tires
19 Old Boots
18 Old Cans

Not. One. Rare.

*bows humbly to VO and crew* Brilliant gold sink gentlemen. Hours of entertainment, and I know ways to make it legitimately profitable, but I must say that, having verified this for my eyes I am actually amused by this fact.

Rares are just that:
Rare.
