My grandfather did the same thing. He used to sell live bait including the minnows that I would catch in our farm pond. Another guy would buy nightcrawlers from a schoolmate who lived around the (country) corner; he would find one under each cow pie.
I think a lot of people look down their noses at those who fish with bait but I find that it connects me back with my youth. I caught some trout the other day on nothing but half a nightcrawler under a red and white bobber and was happy as a clam about it. I find it hard to fly fish or troll through the ice.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
