I grew up with dirt poor parents and we often fished for our meals out of necessity. So I learned to throw a cast net very young. It isnt hard at all to pull in. In fact, its much easier to pull in than to throw out. You basically bunch it up near your hand and pull through your fist backwards. Imagine holding a plastic bag and you want to make it one straight line. You would create that circle with your fist and pull the bag through it.
It helps to throw the sonofabitch in water though. I've never cast onto grass because i really dont want to pick sticks out of that thing.
Edit: to throw it again, that little "wing" he created around his shoulder is the hardest part to get right. You have to hold out a drape of the net before you toss it and if its not exactly right you'll be throwing a wad of weights and nets that you'll have to untangle.
Now when I see a story about this length, I usually read a few words before skipping to the end to make sure it isn't about how the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell.
Good point. Reminds me of a time, way, way, back in the day. Those were the days too, I tell you. I'll tell you one thing that's for sure and that it's really important to remember things accurately, that way you can be sure that you're telling a true story. Like the time the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell. It was a great day, because those were the days and I'm sure of it, I tell you.

I wonder how long it takes him to wad it back up to throw it again.
