Goosefish -

When I proposed to my wife I got down on one knee and gave her my lates father's wedding band as an engagement ring because I didn't have the shcarole for a diamond at the time (I used to wear that ring on my right hand as a remembrance of him). She said 'yes' and said that his ring - which was given to him by my late mom on their wedding day - meant more to her than any diamond ring ever could. She still wears it to this day, 23 years later, and I still look at it every day and remember.

Says a lot about the woman.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
