I learned to throw one while I was in the Navy. Guy on board the Destroyer I was on had one and used to throw it from the stern anytime we were anchored in port. Not really sure of the size.. I think it was an 8 footer. But it was amazing when I saw all the fish he would bring up, so I asked him if he would teach me. He did and I've used one for years and years afterwards. Time has a nasty way of catching up to us all, and it's been a while since I've used one. I prefer to use Killie Traps instead to catch my bait for fluking. Way less work. :)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
