The Vision
What's more fun than catching big fish?
"Scholars have long known that fishing ....
eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher’s salary
-Patrick McManus
" The best fishermen I know ...
try not to make the same mistakes over and over again; instead they strive to make new and interesting mistakes and to remember what they learned from them.
