This is not a palindrome, but the discussion brought it to mind, so I will share...
A tooter who tutored the flute, once tutored two tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, “Is it harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?”
You know, a bunch of these are keepers! Well done, my friend.

My reply to Mr. Robert Samples is that I like to fillet ‘em. No bones that way.
Everyone is saying stripers, and that is so, but there is so much more to be had. Depending on where you go, you also have available bluefish, juvie blues called choppers or snapper blues, there is black sea bass, scup (porgies to everyone else), tautog, fluke (“summer” flounder), and black “winter” flounder. If you are in brackish water in your yak, you could conceivably have access to the juvie blues, juvie stripers (“schoolies”), and both kinds of flatfish. In the fresh water are LMB, SMB, various sunfish, pickerel, possibly pike (not sure), trout. Rhode Island is an angler’s dream destination. You will love it.
We were fortunate to take a trip to Vienna years ago. The first beer I had there was like a religious experience. I say that because after I swallowed my first mouthful, first words out of my mouth were OH MY GOD! So, best, obviously. Unfortunately I don’t remember now the name of it, but no matter. It’s not as if I can run out and grab some. I have a two way tie for worst. One was a wheat beer i had on that same Vienna trip. Couldn’t finish it. The other I had on my honeymoon in Bermuda in 1980. Guiness. Could not finish that one, too.

Hello Arthur, I’m sailing in your wake, but behind you by about 17 years. At the risk of mixing metaphors (oh no!), you blaze a pretty good trail to be followed. God bless you and yours, friend.
Do you know what they call the person who graduated at the bottom of their med school class?
Doctor.
This has been mentioned here before, but it’s worth repeating. Night crawlers and earthworms have been repeatedly been proven to catch fish in the briny. And so much chesper to buy, if you don’t harvest your own.
Great way to either bond or strengthen bonds, and Makin’ Memories. Way to go, bro.
In my youth I spent 10 years as a volunteer fire fighter. I was at work that day. One of my coworkers walked in and announced that a plane had crashed intp the WTC in NYC. We went into the break room and put on the TV and watched events unfold. When the first tower pancaked, all my coworkers saw a building collapsing. I saw the instant deaths of what I guessed were dozens of first responders, particularly brother fire fighters. Then the second. God’s truth, I cried off and on for a year. Every day for the next year I hung my American flag on my garage with my fire helmet on top.
Fresh caught fish does not stink. There is a slight aroma, but not offensive. Filet or otherwise cut up your catch to fit into ziplock baggies that you’ve brought along, put them underneath freezer packs in an insulated lunch bag or some such. Other than that, break down rod and reel, limited amount of tackle in a modest sized pack, some HandiWipes for your hands. Remember the old axiom K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, slugger.)
