Lets play some more: Fishing Terms Explained FISHING TERMS EXPLAINED ITALIAN GOLF The Italian had never played golf before and so he asked for some tips before starting the game. The American
decided to teach the Italian the proper way to putt a golf ball. The American said, "You take this stick and hit the balls so that they roll into the hole." The
American putted away and sank the ball from twenty feet in a single stroke. The Italian replied, "In America, you leave your sticka outta and a putta your balls in da hole, but in
Italia, we put our sticka inna da hole and leave our balls out!"

Line
Something you give your co-workers when they ask on Monday how your fishing went the past

Tackle
What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in, but just before he wrestled free and
jumped back overboard.

one.
