Passion As An Entity In Fly Fishing
Good evening-----It's a beautiful evening to come back to port after 11 days longlining. The older I get, the more I sympathize with the fish! Anyway, through the years when people found out what I did for a living (fish), most would say something like, "What a great hobby! You must have alot of patience"! I rarely answered these inquiry/statements, but nonetheless they bothered me. Have I devoted my life to pursuing a hobby??? I don't think so! I am a serious man. I've built successful businesses, made millions, lost millions, so I'm not one to devote my creative powers to a "hobby". The most honest way to characterize my relationship to fishing is to call it my passion. Of couse, not the same kind of passion as loving someone. But, pretty close.I am so grateful for the gift of fishing. I don't know about you, but even when I'm not fishing, I am fishing! Thanks for listening. Sincerely, Capt. Bob
