There's a guy that fishes the Salmon River with a fly rod with 1 arm. He often beats out the others around him. 6-30lb fish in current on the fly? Amazing guy. Regular tackle, he can strip line with his teeth, cast with 1 arm, & when fish on, he holds the rod between his legs & reachs behind his back to crank the reel. Where there's a will there's a way. God bless
