James RickardWhat's in Amsterdam's Water?

This isn't really about fishing but shows the multitude of bicycles in Amsterdam canals.
I guess aside from being the porn capital of the world it's also the bike capital.
One of my early fishing adventures involved snagging a bicycle. How it got into the river I'll never know.
I was trying to catch muskies and using 50 lb. braid.
I wasn't too savvy in my fishing yet so, when I hooked the bike, I thought maybe it was a turtle.
Looking back, I guess it was a little cool for turtles but, when there was no tug on the line when I released a little tension, I knew it wasn't anything to put on the supper table!
Since then, I've seen guys haul out lawn chairs and even another fishing rod. I've always thought there was a certain irony to that!

Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
