I thought you said this was just a few years ago? Is this not trendy still?
 
Ya, it stopped in 2023!
Oh that makes sense, shortly after Crocs blew up and became so popular. Don't need socks if your croc'n it
 
I caught a 14 pound blue fish from the shore with fresh water gear off of Cape Cod when I was 14. Man that was fun, I can’t believe that that was just a few years ago.
I have never been saltwater fishing but I hope up one day.
