I understand what everyone is saying here to Toby. We all LOVE TO FISH!!! Yes.
No matter what size. Yes
Personally I feel a drive to fish at the highest level that I can attain with the knowledge and experience I have available. (None)
Thats what pushes me to fish 6-7-8 consecutive tides, to drive 1 1/2 hrs every other day for 3-4 months, to go to work w/o sleep, to fish till I drop. And I love that aspect of fishing, in addition to catching. Thats the push that breeds intense learning. For me anything else is sittin in the beach chair ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g bait and drinkin beers.
I know, most people dont fish like this. Many cant, some would like too, whatever. Some of us do, and theres an interest in knowing where you are in your own level of achievement, a sort of self competition, and some with the guys you fish with. Its a natural state of wanting to be the best you can. And gauging how the season was as a total for all fisherman.
