I guess we can “fish” now? 🇮🇹 #51
There is a reason why fishing is called fishing, and not “catching”! For the longest time, Ryan and I thought about how we should get into fishing. But none of us knows how to fish, and also, blood makes me faint between, which makes me a terrible candidate for cleaning a fish. So between our mu...
