there's not much like the adrenaline shot of a rod doubling over and the drag screaming...

Yup 100%. Seeing the ripple/swirl following my plug. Making sure im consistant with the action not to spook her. Hoping she takes it. Talking to myself, then SSSLLLAAMMM!!! Explosion. Nothing better.

I'll go with the take but ultimately my favorite part is being right about the spot and tide I want to fish.

I want it all ... I love the take ... have some phenomenal memories of "the take"of a wide variety of species ... whether it's a big bass on the plug, a giant tarpon inhaling a fly in crystal clear water, or anything else going bonkers ... the take is typically what is remembered most and most exciting ... although I have also had some phenomenal fights that leave amazing memories as well ... it's all good.

I like the take too. It's like the gentle caressing on the sofa before the intercourse on the floor.

The take. When you realize you have a good sized fish on, telling yourself to calm down and not screw this up, it changes to the fight pretty quickly. Then the whole thing is a rush.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
