For me it's not just the excitement of catching fish but much more. I'm a worry wart, heck I don't discrimenate either I worry about everything. My job, family, home, you name it, I stress over it. Can't help it that's the way I'm made up I guess. I've always been an outdoorsmen and have hunted and fished since I was old enough to squirm. But for me nothing and I mean nothing takes my mind off my worries more than fishing. It by far is the best therapy for me to get out there and try my best to match wit's with them green and especially them brown fish. I guess it's the only time if only for a short while that I am completely stress free and have nothing on my mind but outsmarting that ole bass. What does it do for you and why??
