He sharply turns with a stern look and voice and says (in a heavy Polish accent): "LOOK… forget about comfort!!! If you want comfort, stay on the couch and watch tv, ok!?? (His voice suddenly goes soft, calm, yet serious as he leans in close to my face and says) "but if you want catch BIG FISH……. then you come with me".
From that day on, I will always remember that to be successful in this pursuit,
you have to "forget about comfort"…
So no… I'm not done for the season just yet. thanks dad.

Thats a great story. I love how you ended it with "Thanks Dad"
It is amazing how we as grown men always remember the influence our dads had on our development.
Hope you catch a great big one before the season ends.
