Good for you, Jimmy! When did you stop wearing them?

There are lots of reasons that I fish. On the boat, I just like being out on the water and being away from work, etc... From shore, I like the idea of finding new spots and learning how to work them. Sometimes it's fun to be fishing in a crowd and sometimes I like the solitude of being alone in the middle of the night.

But one of the things that keeps me obsessed/addicted is that you never know what's out there. The feeling of the first hit or pick up never gets old. There's something abotu not knowing what's on the end of your line and the split second feeling that it might be a cow.

At this point I'm happy with anything I can get. I almost took a picture of a bunch of weeds that I reeled in this morning.
