I actually gave my dad a Popeil pocket fisherman when I was kid for Father’s Day. We laughed about it till the day he died.

I actually think that the Pocket Fisherman was a great idea. If I weren't so proudful back then, I would have bought one. I can imagine driving home from work and stopping along some creek and grabbing the Pocket Fisherman. I suppose the Pocket Fisherman wasn't so "cool" for a guy like me back then! LOL.

My Granddad, who lived in Middle TN and was a lifelong fisherman, created hand crafted fishing rods as a side business. He was a true artist.

Stupid 19-year-old me shut the trunk of my car with the tip of the rod sticking out and destroyed it.

The loss of that rod still haunts me now, some 50 years later.
