Don't mean to spew, but I must. I hope we all remember this is not about your mama. This is not about your wife. This is not about your sucking life, this is about our dreams, our passion, our reason to go on. Fishing has been a way of life for me for a long time. Its like waking up at 5am and saying F*** work I'm fishing. I'll deal with the consequence of my decision later. Similar to my love for surfing. When a 3 day southern swell is hitting, I have lost jobs because of the gut feel of missing my big chance. If I miss this my life will end. Obsession is a bitch. Perserverance is ok with me.
