Very COOOL question, Big Larrrrrr :-D

here i go again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,coloring outside the lines~~~~

i'd have to honestly say that, for me, it hasn't happened YET!

i'll try to explain. yes! i've landed several 30#'s, two that were just "shy" of 40# and with every single one of them(the surface smashes and the swimmer slams and the eeeeeeeel takes that were AMAZING ~as well as something i place an extremely high "stirs my surfcaster's soul" value upon) what keeps me awake at night and inspires me to Fish Hard and Live Long is my next personal best, THE 80#'er/new IGFA WR that lurks just beneath my offering, and more than ALL of these are the 5 monstahs that "got away" or the landing of my FIRST fish of a lifetime!!!

having been bested and taught by those supercows has fueled a burning hunger DEEP within me striperin' spirit as each one's battle and lessons are etched upon my cerebral indelibly. whether it be day dreams, nightmares, or conscious strategic endeavors to take my pursuits to the next level~~~it is the Journey to Fiddymanjarro(and beyond) that stokes my fires within~~~.

let it not be misunderstood, i love the LAAAHGE take just as much as the next man and i also love playing a beetch from the rocks; however, when i do finally unbutton a worthy Cow, then i believe that THAT will be the moment that grants me the MOST satisfaction as you inquire about and it will be the desire to repeat that feat over-and-over-and-over again that will continue to provide the most joy/no joy for what remains of me Striperin' Daze.

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
