I caught a Largemouth at Lake Oconee in middle Georgia a few years back that weighed about 8 lbs. - wish I would have kept him and had him mounted. He was at least 20 inches long and his mouth was larger than the length of my hand.
I'll never forget seeing that fish jump three times at least 2 feet above the water. It's like the beer commercial "it just doesn't get any better than this".
Everyone ought to believe in something.
I believe I'll go fishing! :D
I fish because in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion. :)
