Is bowling not like fishing...?
ya gotta match-up to be sucessful...!!
league bowling is like fishing in your favorite lake,..you know what to use to be sucessful...a strange lake and traveling league is guess work
bowlers change balls like changing baits/lures,..'til the right one works..
bowlers got crankers,straighties, and boomers,..fishings got fly, bait, spin, canepole, bank and boat fishers...
we got all our bags full of stuff,..they got their boats..
drinking is ok in both
each center has its own way to score, as does each lake,..inside/outside...deep/shallow.
if I'm striking everyone wants to know what I'm using, where I'm playing, and with what,...if your catching fish,..ditto
our strike is knocking down 10 pins, there's is catching a fish.
our spare is ok but not as good as a strike,..in fishing an almost catch is ok, but getting 'em in the boat is better.
our open is bad, there open is getting hung, losing your lure, backlash.
center/lane conditions play a big part on scores,..lake conditions depend on how many ya catch..
we're always looking for better equipment, layouts, and what works best here and there...same in fishing.
bowling has tournaments,..fishing has tournaments...
the lanes were great yesterday and everyone was shooting lights out,...man were they biting yesterday..
there's bowling shirts,...and fishing shirts.
people that bowl have a tendency to strech the truth about their accomplishments,...all fishermen have a story...
it's all about how many ya knock down,..or how many ya catch,....and then how ya tell the story....all my friends either fish or bowl,..or both. go figure.
