When he wants to catch the all the fish he can.
When he strives to catch the largets 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 Ringwald Hewitt A Trout And Salmon Fisherman for Seventy-Five Years (1948)
I'd like to add a fourth age:
When he enjoys the fishing more than the catching. (That's where I am now. Just getting on the stream is enough. If I catch fish fine. If not, it's still a joy just to be on the water.)
Have A Great Day !
