Fish that big are good at the survival game. That's how they get that big. It's no reflection on you or your skill. It is a reflection on theirs. That is one of the things that keep us coming back for more.  |

I've noticed that when I have what I consider (not often,mind you) to be a large fish on, I talk to myself out loud. Things like "Oh geeze, this ain't a schoolie" " Don't mess this up, Fred" " Move ya feet, follow this one down the beach" "Let it run again, she's still too green" Thank God the surf drowns me out, folks would think I'm nuts.

I need just a little more patience next time.
Chalk this one up to "bass fever".

Great to know I am not the only one.....I also talk to the fish...coaxing him closer and closer to my boat....convincing him that I will not hurt him, and I will release him once caught...  |
