Amen!As far as I'm concerned, a fish is a fish regardless whether it's a 20 carp (caught one last year) or 15" crappie (which really make me happy) - the tug & pull are the instant mysteries I fish for along with trophy size; the rest is just confirmation that it is a fish on the end of the line and not a snapping turtle (caught one in the tail that weighed over eight pounds).
