I have heard of "serious" bass fishermen and "professional" bass fishermen but never heard of "avocational" fishermen. MY favorite bumper sticker: "The worst day fishing is better than the best day working." Substitute "shooting trains" for "fishing" and you have my feelings exactly. I believe, judging from the posts over the past few weeks, too many people on this list are spending too much time working. Certainly the case with me! --David R.
