i like the feeling of being one with the ocean. Theres nothing like being perched up on a ledge and having huge rollers come in and explode under your feet shooting spray 20 feet over your head. I love the solitude, I love fishign allnight without a tap and almost falling asleap reeling in a needlefish slowly and being woken up by screaming drag. I love going to a spot knowing there will be fish there, i love the feeling i get landing big fish on a plug i made. and mostly the thing i love the most is outfishing #^^^^^^&

Though I love just being out fishing -- the quiet eeriness of a late, foggy nite at the canal; the power of the crashing waves in Rhody; even the hustle and bustle of a busy day at a well-known spot -- there's nothing like fishing with your friends. It's good to know that there's someone who will watch your back, take your picture, and tell you that they're proud of you when you hook up large. And it's even better being able to do that for someone else. Fish, schmish. I always have a good time when I go out with another person, even if all we catch is the skunk.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

The peace and quiet,the beauty and sound of the ocean, spending time with a good friend ,the thrill of a hit and the excitement of a blitz.

Slingah
nice poll
It's a toss up with number one & 4.
The night before a trip is awesome, I like spending the time to inspect & prepare all of my gear,I want the pice of mind knowing that everything is ok and ready to rock-n-roll!"I don't like to wing it"or fly by the seat of my pant's.
Also when I go to bed, it's tuff to sleep knowing & antisipating of getting up & going to that "spot"....is sombody going to be in it?How many spot's will I'll have to go through to find where the fish are?How big will the fish be this time?Will I score that trophy.it's endless reviewing the plans....
Getting there is just as incredible,looking up at endless black sky litered with stars,some of them shooting across it,the suttle sounds of rolling waves or the trikle of the water with nobody in site it's just me and the water.
I count my blessing's everytime I can make it down to the water to fish and just take it all in.

I love every thing about fishing and in this poll,
But the best thing,
is the adrenile rush I get when a fish hits the bait or lure (especially a big fish)
Wheather it's when a rod doubles over and peels drag, or when I'm wire line jiggin and the fish hits the jig so HARD and feels like it's going to rip my arm off, or when a cod hits a cod jig from 300ft down and I can barely budge it from bottom!!!
Seeing tuna jump around my boat can raise my blood pressure a bit also!!!
