i hear ya MAKAI,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and no doubt as my physical abilities fade,
i will be less able to "Fish Hard" as the saying goes.
something i left out of the earlier post is this;
there is a comraderie along The Striper Coast that DOES
entail the, "oh yeaaaaaah, show me the picture!" mentality
and it is MORE THAN rampant among these fine posts and pages.
don't get me wrong, saltheart, i'm not saying it's a bad thing~~~
i'm just saying that it IS an element of what we do out there!
we catch fish, we take her pic, we keep/release her and then
others want to know about it,,,,,,,,,,,,,so we share it with them and
it often inspires the rest of us to get our butts off of the coach and to push AWAY from the keyboard.
for me it's not necessarily bragging or false bravado, simply sharing in the victory of the spoils and the recounting of "last night's fight". i revel in each others' fishporn, and money shots, and get a reel charge outta who's tonging when and how lahhhhge. this forum also allows us a place to share these joys/accomplishments with our surfbrethren and does often inspire myself and others to attempt to achieve such lofty striperin' heights.
momma always said, "shoot for the stars, son. you may just land on the moon!"
