I didn’t understand the allure of fishing until recently. Now I get it.
There’s the thrill that overtakes you when the fish are biting as quickly as you can put your line into the water. The serenity of turning off the engines and floating for a bit to listen to the waves lapping against the boat. The adrenaline rush when more than one of us in the boat has a fish on the line at the same time. The physical ache at the end of a long day fishing.
