Yes, and while I haven't gone fishing since I was 17, you should have the last one that got away :-)!!! Actually, my favorite "lost" story is that when I was in Japan, one time I was in a train by myself w/o my Japanese friends or my family. Now normally as you know, Japanese "girls" are fairly reserved in public. Wouldn't you know it, 3 teenage girls started to play acting. One of them pretended to be shooting a gun with her fingers and hiding and coming up with all these stone faced Japanese adults around!! In other words, a perfectly normal NYC scene but a rare one in Japan! I have my M7, but I was a coward and chickened out. I don't know the culture's reaction of tourist taking random pictures and since I don't speak the languages, I wouldn't be able to explain what and why I was doing it. Sigh...
