Yet here I sit in a parking lot 2hrs out of my way. In hopes that I will have a tug on my line today that will make my drag sing. When I reach the fifty or 45 plus pound fish I know the desire will only get stronger. I love fishing! But it never satisfies me. To be honest I have yet to find anything that has satisfied me in life.
It's called true love... Your statement about breaking your PB holds very true... I remember like it was yesterday... when I got my 61( my first fish over "50").. I was 28.. most of the old timers around the marina said..."well that's it you wont fish hard anymore".... nothing could be farther from the truth....that was 30 years ago... 17 fish over "50" latter ( 18 counting the 61)... last night it was after 2 AM when I shut my eyes... i was up at 5.. to work by 6:30... I've fish 10 of the last 12 nights... for what????.. true love...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
