My new read

[joedog]

Started new book, heres the first paragraph:
Being a true fisherman is more than tossing crankbaits, tying flies or bottom-fishing smelly baits. It is a ancient and time-honored ritual. It is the bestowing of fishing secrets collected over the decades and passed from parent to child. It is the sharing with others the fish tales of a lifetime, often embellished, always heartfelt.
Fishing is challenging, inspirational, spiritual--it embraces the essence of life. Fishing nurtures relationships and defines roles. It consoles and heals. Fishing is a reflection of what we are and who we want to be. It teaches patience, provides reachable goals and rewards those who educate themselves in the way of nature--or who simply get lucky. Few other activities posses the power to help mold young lifes while adding untold pleasures to our own.
And perhaps most noteable: Fishing is Fun!

Reminds you of why we really do it!
