Fishing should be fun. Part of that is art and food and other things that don't put fish in the boat, but nevertheless make you enjoy the process more.
Monte Burke’s “Lords of the Fly”: The Gift and Curse of Obsession
The lede to Monte Burke’s “Lords of the Fly” is that tarpon are a fish that have befuddled everyone from Hall of Fame ballpayers to gangsters to business titans to dilletantes since the time of Michelangelo, if not earlier. The more significant message, however, is that the fish don’t give a fuck who you are. If they had middle fingers to give, they’d shoot two of them in all of their suitors’ directions.
