What I learned fishing as a child

1. Fish don't live near bathrooms
2. If they do, the bathroom is guaranteed to not be sanitized for your protection
3. Sanitation is irrelevant when you are up to your wrists in nightcrawlers
4. Worms are icky
5. Salmon eggs are pretty
6. Life is not a cartoon; the trout come out of the water very much alive and kicking
7. Trout do not like to die
8. Just when you think the trout is dead, it has a surprise
9. Fish don't come fileted
10. They do, however, come with internal organs that must be removed
11. Eviscerating trout is called "cleaning" them
12. "Cleaning" is not at all clean
13. Trout do not like to be eviscerated, either
14. Nor do they come with handy zippers
15. If you don't know where the knife is inserted to eviscerate the trout, you don't want to
