Non fishing related, My other hobby
Tennis was the only sport I could play in my youth that I had a small bit of ability. Played in high school, made the team. Played in junior college as a practice player for the team. I had a big serve for my height 120mph. One day my my shoulder exploded and my serve was gone. I still play some, serve is down in the 80s. I know we have to have some players on here, if I remember right, The Darkhorse is quite a good player. I collect rackets and these are my three newest. From left to right: A Prince Original Graphite Oversize from 1978. This is a hard to find model in decent shape. It didn't have a bumper guard so they wore out quick. This was THE racket to have back in the day. Picked it up at the local thrift store for $3, I gave them a 5 and donated the other two dollars Prince Graphite MidPlus, a true players racket, nice balance of power and control. Craigslist find $10. It had a broken string but I have a bunch of string sets to choose from at home. And the real prize! A Prince Woodie Oversize. One of the most beautiful rackets ever made in my opinion. Wood frame with a graphite overlay. The graphite looks amazing in the sun, like a quality fishing rod does. A racket I've wanted since they came out in 1980, the year I started playing tennis at 15. I bought this at the same thrift store for $3 and gave them $5 like before. $16 for the rackets and $4 in donations and I'm a happy collector.  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Turn them into fishing nets and you might have something there.
