Since we are reminiscing, does anyone remember Hermans ??

Back in the early 70s, while most kids were at Sam Goodies record stores buying 45s or at Spencers buying black light posters, I would be in Herman's drooling over fishing stuff. I can remember one particular visit like it was yesterday....

I found my first and still favorite higher end salt water fishing pole in the clearance rack but I was a few bucks short. I was so determined to have that pole, I hid it behind a bunch of stuff, went to a few fountains in the mall and "borrowed" $2 worth of change and went back to the store and picked up Black Beauty.

Man was I proud of that pole.
