If I kept a log of my hours otw and the fish I've got, I'd quit... only if they weren't enormous awesome uber exotic fish caught locally. Keep your eye on the prize and enjoy it to the fullest once you get it, from the fish initially biting the bait, to the drag ripping of your reel, to first seeing color and asking yourself, "OMG how am I going to gaff this enormous thing," to the drag ripping of the reel again, to sticking em, getting em up on your lap, paddling in with a big 'ole grin on your face, tourists drilling you for goofy information, your neighbors saying "HOLY POO!!! You caught that on what?", filleting it up, seasoning it, cooking it, and sharing a feast with good friends... a beast you hunted down, caught and fought all on your own.

On that note....I'm hoping to return this weekend, possibly Sunday due to my work schedule. Anyone from the LA/OC want to join and split fuel cost? I can fit two yaks on my rack and a third in the bed if needed. Last edited by jorluivil; 04-05-2011 at 07:55 AM. |

To quote Han Solo..."Never tell me the odds!"
I was 2 years into LJ before catching a glory fish,probably 20 trips or so.It was all worth it to get that first fish.

I've thought about quitting many times during my first couple of years. Many HAVE given up. You didn't mention showing off your catch on BWE, chance of being on the front page, the spontaneous grin on your face for several days for reasons not apparent to others around you, etc. So many reasons not to give up. |

Don't worry bout it George Im sure quite a few of us still got a big fat 0 on our records still. By the way it was cool meeting you on the water last Sunday and you having to play lifeguard rescuing my kayak after flipping on that 6' foot wave. Haha
