Does Size Matter?

What a great story! Felt as if I was right there in the action. I would say you get bragging rights on this one.

I think you win that one. What are you, or him for that matter, going to remember next year and the year after? The big fish, not his 18 2 pounders.

Nice job. That sounded like a perfect cast and there is no more perfect cast then when you land a nice one with it.

Frankiesurf--

There are two sayings I keep in mind every time I go out to fish. One is: Ninety per-cent of the fish are in ten per-cent of the water. Thirty years of fishing have pretty much confirmed that adage as fact.

The other is this: Ten per-cent of fishermen catch ninety per-cent of the fish. Thirty years of fishing have taught me that I still have a ways to go before I join that elite class.

So, I appreciate your comment about making a "perfect cast". Thank you.

I've only started posting on stripersandangles most recently. But what I've found is a community of anglers who are both skillful and full of passion for the sport of fishing. That's what this angling game is all about: passion and skill.

I agree. Nice community here. None of the ego and bickering that I see elsewhere. I'm at work today and missing the fish. Read your thread and wanted to say nice writeup. The experience of fishing is often more important than the numbers or sizes. Sharing it with good friends is all the better.
