So why do we fish? First there is the joy of being out on the water or in the surf. Then there is the excitement when we actually catch a fish. These are the obvious answers to the question, but they don’t get at the heart of the matter, or examine the compulsion.
For me, fishing is about focus. I am locked into the hunt, the presentation and the expectation that at any moment I’m going to be battling the biggest fish of my life. This single-minded focus alters the normal passage of time.
