This quote has merit to it for sure, cause look at all types of athletes now, from NASCAR drivers, to golfers, to football, basketball, baseball etc, they just about all love to fish...(and/or hunt)... The 3006 NASCAR champ Jimmy Johnson and some friends went on a big fishing expedition in Alaska for a week a cpl months back, and they showed some footage.. They were not fly fishing,but were hauling in some Salmon and Tuna i think, as well as a few others I can't remember that were huge... I thought "Jimmy, (Johnson LOL), if you only knew how those big fish would have felt like on a fly rod, you'd live up there LOL... Chuck
