That is very well thought out and written Jed. I have not experienced some of the things mentioned but think I would enjoyed them as well as the ones I have had the pleasure of experiencing.

In addition, I enjoy fishing with old friends and will new friends but especially the guys I have known for years and have shared many laughs and sorrows with. I enjoy gently floating down the Chattahoochee River on a hot summer day and letting the 50 degree water take away the effects of the 90 degree air. I don't know if airborne trout are more fun than chunky bass who can't quite launch their bulk free of the water, how do they compare to the bulldog pull of a channel cat or a large grass carp. What was more fun than about 10 straight doubles on popper-dropper on a good bream bed? How do you measure fun?
