 If i'm not careful, fishing is going to be expensive. When possible, i get myself the best gear i can afford. At the moment, that $120 reel is a bit too much, but i went ahead with it anyway.

This is the long-term cash flow that I am cultivating. Growing the channel is my main job and business.  When I'm not getting enough runs on the app, I shoot video.
