Anglers come in all dimensions, colors, flavors, temperaments, cars, RVs, canoes, and professions.
They growl if the youngsters awaken them on Sunday morning at 9, but they smile if awakened by a fishing buddy's auto horn Sunday morning at 3. They're too tired to push a lawnmower over smooth grass, yet they can set a speed record wading upstream in hipboots. One of the finest definitions of a fisherman I've ever heard was not from my Webster's but from a letter news commentator Paul Harvey recently received from L.J. Willett of Jackson, Minnesota. Harvey was so impressed, he published the letter in its entirety. Any of these may be the zealous creature we call a fisherman.
