I think a lot of us are in that boat. I don't keep as many as I used to, gotta clean them. I would rather see that spark when someone else catches them..,maybe it's age, maybe it's the wisdom that comes with age....or maybe it's the aches and pains too
But it just seems it's the sights sounds and experience of being out, more than the catch or numbers
