Catch and release. Never give up (unless it's 30 degrees)

Fishing Fr3ack - wonderful to have a response by someone who obviously reads a lot!
When I go out I am happy if I catch one. (of course I am happier if I catch more). I have progressed through the 3 stages of fish: catch the most fish, catch the biggest fish, catch the most challenging fish. I would rather solve the puzzle of catching the toughest fish, than catch a bunch of easy ones.
But mostly I appreciate I am in heaven. In heaven (IMO) there is no time and no clock. How many times have I been fishing and then either looked at my watch or returned to the cottage/dock/car/camp and said, 'Is it that time already!!" Time on the water is time OUT - like time beyond time. Heavenly.

LOL True that Staffman
Have any of you guys seen the video on youtube about the difference between men's brains and women's brains that talked about "boxes"? A man has an "empty" box that he goes to... fishing is my empty box. I know we think and look and whatever else when we're fishing but.. for me, all that stuff is just.. natural. It's an absolute escape whether there's fish on or not.
I can tell ya.. the first trout i ever caught was the most exciting thing because i'd never river fished before that. Something about being in the water with no sounds of cars or other people that's just.. amazing.

Here's a quote I really like, not much philosophy to it but thought it belonged here anyway
With every trip we collect new mementos, though few are collected in scrapbooks. And all who fish across the land collect them too. They are the images from first light to last and from first fish to last. And we'd share them in a minute. Some recall particular triumphs, often preserved in snapshots and clippings, while others we tend to hide, at least until the time we're ready to laugh about them. Daybreaks, rodbreaks, heartbreaks, muggy nights, and foggy mornings. A hundred things that worked, and a thousand more that should have. That's fishing. - George Kramer
Also the quote in my signature.
My personal view on fishing:
A way to relax, sit back, enjoy, and have fun. Catching a fish is always a bonus. The setting is amazing. Great way to spend time with others. I find that I am my 100% true self when I'm fishing, idk why but it brings out the best of me and I find that my personality is best shown when I'm fishing. I could literally go on for hours, I even wrote an article highlighting this a bit, but I'll keep it short

Well hello everyone .
I just want give a quick bio of myself If I may
Approx.12 years ago I had a heart attack,at which time I was only 42 years old.This was an eye opening experience for me .
So what does it have to with fishing? For me it has become everything.I had to make a decission ,keep doing what I'm doing or most likely die.
Sounds crazy ,but that is what I did .I sold my business .But what happened next was like a miracle.A couple years passed ,but in Nov. of 2002 I
was offered a job with a private fishing camp.
I started in May of 2003 and have been there since then.My responsibilities included ,building maintenance,grounds keeping,meals when members were there,clearing exsisting trials to some of the most remote lakes,keeping the wood boxes full ,ect.You can get the idea from that .
Since that time I have open up several different trails to some of the most isolated lakes in the area,where not even flying in is possible .Now the members ,when they arrive with there guests,they ask where are you taking us fishing this time.?So now I have become a bonifide Fishing Guide.
My philosphy ,Keep fishing it just may save your life.
Kindest Regards
Harold

If you can't catch a fish in a stocked pond...basketball, football, baseball, hockey & chess are fun too...
