LOL You can bet I stay away from bananas the day of fishing. I know it sounds crazy but you will never see Ole CP with a banana on a day of fishing. LOL pull one out when I am fishing and I will try and get as far away's from you as possible. I don't know what it is but Bananas and fishing just don't mix. I love to eat them any other time...Just not when fishing.
Sounds like a joke, but I know you are not kidding. My grandfather was the same way about bananas. He wouldnt even let banana bread or banana boat sunscreen into the boat. Goes way back to before cargo ships had weight restrictions. They would overload the boats and sink, leaving nothing but a bunch of floating bananas! They also carried poisonous spiders and snakes that would take over the ships.
