"Without a doubt, saltwater fish are smarter than their freshwater
cousins. Also, saltwater fish fight harder and longer than freshwater
species. It goes without saying that saltwater fishermen are smarter
than freshwater fishermen. Ergo, since I primarily fish salt, I'm
smarter than any of you trout anglers. Of course, I already knew all
this since I invented salt water fishing right after the waters went
down and the Ark settled. At that time there was no fresh water left, so
I had to come up with a rig to take the salt out in order that the
handfull of us humans and the other animals getting off the Ark would
have fresh water to drink. This was the original de-salination process.
During the de-salination process, a feather from one of the eagles fell
into my lap while I was fashioning a hook to catch saltwater fish for us
to eat. I didn't have the heart to kill and eat any of the fish or
other animals I'd saved from the great flood. I thought to myself - '
why not tie the feather onto the hook? Surely it can't hurt anything.'
It sure didn't. I caught fish right and left, as opposed to the meager
catches I'd gotten on worms before the great flood. So there you have
it. I DonO Ordes invented fysshing with a fleie thereby saving the world."
