Consider this boys and girls...On the door on one of the elevators at Bass Pro in Clarksville, IN, there is a scene of a fisherman with a caption that reads:

"Many men fish their entire lives without knowing that fish is not what they're in search of."

Pretty deep stuff huh? As for me...the reason I go is because the tug/nibbles/lightning strikes that happen beneath the water and send shock waves through my rod and into my hand are second to only one other thing in my opinion.
