I thought you were supposed to put them in a barrel and shoot them.

Wow, fishing without the annoyance of mosquitoes, handling icky bait, no slimy guts to remove. Where's the fun in that?

The only indoor "fishing" I've done is with a Radica Bass Fishin' handheld electronic game. I purchased it in 1996 just to see what it was like, and it actually felt like I was reeling in a fish when I got one on the "line". I still have it. I came across it by accident while looking for something else a few weeks ago, put fresh batteries in, and it still works like new. Real fishing was a regular part of my life while I was growing up, with two rivers within walking and biking distance. I also fished off of two long piers jutting out into Lake Michigan which were just over a mile from our home. This article brought back many good memories about growing up in the 50's.

Our Chicago suburb did this for about five years in the late 1960's, using our swimming pool after summer was over. Not unusual, but a fad.
