Originally, some 30 years ago I began to fish primarily as a family activity with my wife and 2 sons. Pat and I discovered early on that it is a great stress reliever for fast pace careers. We, also, began to really appreciate God's creation up close and personal. Our family also enjoys the by-products of large fish fries. Did I mention that we accumulated about a million fond memories of trips during the years.
The most peaceful place in the world being on the water even if i'm alone fishing. The mind gets to take a break from everyday life and the stress that comes with it. I even find myself thanking the man above for the family of mine and the fruits i'm about to put in the live-well and then eat. The real reason is we meet some of the greatest and friendliest people on the water and on the ramps that become friends forever. I have learned so much from fisherman that i have never known and had just meet and to talk with them like i have new them forever. The greatest place to be, on the water fishing ! :pray:fish:cheers2:ThumbsUp
I fish because it is my Passion
I fish to bring a smile on someone's face and the joy of bringing fishing into someone's life
I fish to get away from civilization
I fish to make friends
I fish because I enjoy friendly competition
I fish for the challenge of figuring out my quarry
I fish because I love to eat and cook crappie for someone
Give someone a fish you feed them for a day...Teach someone to fish and you feed them for a lifetime.
Because I have to
Oh yeah, one more thing.

When I fish alone, I find serenity. When I fish with my sons or dad, I have a sense of closeness like no other time. When I fish with my wife, I shake my head in disbelief and tell myself, "Keep your mouth shut and enjoy the time with her. If she falls out of the boat, remember she was a lifeguard."
