Ummmmmmmm…there.; I’m one with the river now.

When you say fishing, do you speak of the process, including the appurtenant futzing involved, such as retrieving one’s hook from the local flora—or my own arse—or do you speak to the ultimate satiation that ends with a picture of a trophy specimen, suitable for mounting in one’s den, if had not been released?

I have spent countless hours with the former but must live vicariously through your well written site (http://troutunderground.com/) to appreciate the latter.

If only I had someone nearby who could be my Zen master…

What do you mean this isn’t a fishing blog? Aren’t they all?

Just like all paths lead to the great path, all blogs eventually lead to fishing. That’s zen stuff if you didn’t know.

Turtles are fast, and since you’ll be traveling a lot (and making millions doing so), remember that snapping turtles are damned fast. And when you think about it, turtles are pretty zen too.

NM,

You neglected to mention two important items:

1. Did the local land the lunker?
2. How did it cook up?

As we sailed down the coast of Baja last fall, we were line fishing off the stern; I was scared as hell we might catch a big one and have to haul it in, hand-over-hand.

Hey, Matt – you are officially only the second travel site I have added to my blogroll (since I noticed you were nice enough to list mine).

I went fishing in Thailand once….old school style. string and hook. I caught something but the line cut my hand and the local took it from me so we could get the fish and eat dinner. nasty gash.
