I think for many of us......our "need" to fish comes from something that is not measurable.
It once was a very large profession, (think Peter/Paul here) and I think it has something to do with that internal need to "produce"
Now in todays world, many of us do not need to fish to eat. But, perhaps our ancestors did.
It's a real peace for me now.........it once was limits, then it was tournament fish, than it was fast boats (very fast boats) now it's watching other catch fish.
I am just as happy catching a few, and then netting and baiting for others..........I get a kick out catching my bait as much as I do the fish.
The smell, the weather, the boat, the bait, the water, the everything........somehow brings me to a place that is familiar
