You begin to cry and grind your teeth waiting for the Grim Reaper. Oops, she made a mistake. She meant 130,000 hours fishing. All the battles, the hiking to remote locations, the games of cat and mouse as you skillfully casted into heavy cover, leave you feeling warm inside. The first will make you laugh, the second cry, but their morals are the same.
Fishing is more important than work.
I'm fortunate enough to live within walking distance of Oologah Lake. Therefore, fishing isn't a planned event, it's a spontaneous act occuring when my family appears occupied and my services aren't immediately required. This happens about 2-3 times a week. It's as if I'm challenging the forces above. I'll get a bite withing those five casts.
