Deciding on what lure to use, then tricking a bass into hitting it creates a mystery to be solved. You make the best deduction of the situation, then put life into an inanimate object. Some days you catch fish, some days you don't. The act of responding to the strike is a big part of the excitement. The nice thing about fishing is you can catch a trophy and let it go, after taking pictures of course.
Stress is left behind with fishing.
You leave it on shore. No phones, no troubles, just fun. Tournament fishing can be stressful if you let it, but it is a separate addiction which needs a story all its own. All rights reserved.
