Good for you Paul.
everyone has health issues, this year was tough on me, sleep apena, weight gain, upper respiratory infection in the spring.
Instead of fishing harder I started fishing smarter, really reviewed my logs, kept my fishing all nighters to only a few, and put more time in during peak hours and it paid off. broke my pb numerous times and was rewarded with bigger and better fish.
also changed my diet and exercise routines, listened to my body and rested when I needed it.
No one in my family has lived pass 68 years old on both sides, so im making the changes now so I can keep doing what I love.
that fact alone is a huge wake up call to me.
Fishing is one hobby/passion/obsession and Im happiest when Im doing it so going to keep at it, its the worse thing I do, like i tell my lady Im not out drinking, drugging, hanging out with losers, etc. I fish.
Mike Laptew posted a great pic of a spirit of john habs fishing some great looking surf the other day on FB, made me think about everyone that has passed away from our sport/community.
