TRUTH envy
The non fisherman naturally
thinks the enjoyment OF fishing is
measured by the number OF fish
you catch. He thinks of 1t sort Of
like baseball ~ a scorekeeping at
fair.
But actually the thrill comes
from the dreams. the hopes, and
the ever-present anticipation which
accompanies fishing The fisher
man wants to catch fish, but only
once or twice in a lifetime does
he hook into a fish which gives
him the keen sense of excitement
that he7is able TO get from pictur-
ing the battles with the fish that
might have struck.
The fisherman has a worldwide
reputation for disregarding the
truth. A fish story is common
ly accepted synonym for a highly
exaggerated statement. But the
fisherman should be forgiven, in
the company OF a hostile group Of
non-fishermen, for trying to justify
his pastime by mentally catching
the fish that got away or that new
er quite snapped at his hook. For
he is not only trying to defend a
form of enjoyment that they do not
understand, but is also trying TO re-
live the excitement OF the dreams
The Coolidge examiner., 1945-08-31

No matter whether he has all OF
the problems OF the President OF
the United States resting on his
shoulders. or Is the town bum, his
thoughts are probably very much
alike while fishing. lie thinks
about whether the bait he is using
is the best bait. whether he should
move il in the water or hold II
stiH, whether he has picked a good
spot or poor one. whether the sun
is TOO bright, the water too muddy.
or the air too cold. His whole
being concentrates on the prob
lens OF the moment. He loses all
track OF time. He may carry on
a conversation with a fellow fisher
man. but his thoughts aren't on it.

Fishermen don't expect others TO
understand. Nor can most OF them
explain the inner JOY which comes
from fishing. They just know that
when they have a rod in their hands
all OF the tension OF living fades
away and they enjoy almost total
relaxation coupled with the ever
present anticipation OF telling fish
strike.
