#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, I agree with you that there is such a thing as fishing burnout. I congradulate you on wanting to spend more time with Ali and your wife. I myself can never have children due to some unforseen circumstances, and I envy all those people out there that have children today, not that its an easy world too raise them in. But spend as much time with them as you can, your inspiration to surf fishing just may come back when your little daughter says "hey dad, will ya take me fishing" Your eyes will light up and you will have that fishing parter for life. It is as you have said that fishing isn't that much of a challenge for you anymore. You have for years put a strong and heartfelt foundation into catching the big gals out there and I commend you for that.
But for most of us we are just getting older and have health problems to boot, so for me it is just as fun to go out there and wet a line no matter what happens. Your theory on catching big fish is right on, time ,time, time on the water. But I have found that pressuring yourself to get the big cows isn't always what's improtant, although we all love the big one's. But now I enjoy spending time with Baitcaster out there under the stars at night or watching the sun come up in the morning, or just running across an unexpected huge school of fish and having a ball.
We wish you and your family well and I hope Ali is feeling better. You have wonderful memories that no one can ever take away from you. Savor it well my friend, because you just never know what is instore for our fisheries, you may have enjoy some of the best fishing there ever was.
