"I believe in the soul, the rod, the reel, the small of a striper's back, the breachways, red bull, good eels, that the novels of fishing writers are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Al McReynold's acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing private beach access and the taking of shorts. I believe in the sweet spot of a rod, soft-core bass pornography, cathing your stripers at sunrise rather then sunset and I believe the fall run is on"
