"The truth is that live-bait fishing has a long and noble history. Live
bait was totally unknown to the early caveman, who had to make do with a
rather limited assortment of dry flies, nymphs, and a few streamers. One
day, whether out of exasperation or simple impatience, a caveman made a
backcast with a gray hackle he had not bothered to remove from a sage
hen. Instantly, it was taken by a brontosaurus. The caveman was elated
by his discovery, even though it was several centuries before anyone
learned how to take the brontosaurus off the hook."
