I don't know Mhall, I believe fisherman are born with it in their blood. I started fishing when I was small don't remember the age but do remember sitting on the creekbanks of the Dix river catching smallies. From there it was wading creeks to farm ponds and finally the big lakes for the past 7 years. I don't believe that there is anything greater, there is just something about it that sooths the soul. I spend time with my children fishing in hopes that maybe they will get as much pleasure out of the sport as I have but with video games and computers seems that it is hard to pull them away. I hope to continue fishing as long as I am on this Earth and hope that when I meet my creater that he has a nice big lake where I can spend eternity enjoy what I love best with all of you other hardcore fisherman.
