[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

2012-02-26 Thread Jimmy D. Moore
The ancients wrote of the three ages of man, I propose to write of 
the three ages of the fisherman.

When he wants to catch all the fish he can.
When he strives to catch the largest fish.
When he studies to catch the most difficult fish he can find, 
requiring the greatest skill and most refined tackle, caring more for 
the sport than the fish.


Edward R. Hewitt A Trout And Salmon Fisherman For Seventy-Five Years 
[1948]

Jimmy,

Ol' Ed must have never reached the 4th stage:
When he truly enjoys watching someone else catch a fish without 
feeling the need to try to outdo the other person.
