I go through ALL of if the feelings that have been mentioned. But then I think of what someone told me one time. " it's just great go be out here. Out in nature. Adapt to what she gives you. Doing what you like to do. If we catch fish it s a bonus."
For the record it was my fellow co-worker, fishing partner, one time boss, and friend Marty. He is no longer with us but not forgotten. I don't want to get sentimental.
PS he use to get pissed at me for not steering straight, etc., etc., etc. The SOB.
