You think you are hooked now, wait until you get that 1 to 2 lb. slab next to the boat and can't get your hands on the landing net and he gets away. You'll want to break every pole you have. But then you'll think MAYBE I CAN DO THAT AGAIN. Then your hooked and you life is changed for ever.. Happy fishing to ya.
Birddog,
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.
