Keep Fishing Never Stop
Keep Fishing Never Stop
It's not the cast that catches the fish
It’s a jerk on one end waiting, for a jerk on the other
It’s not a hobby, it's the way you live your life
(Location)
Searching for sparse weeds and the clear water
Small ripples, like a stone skipping across the water surface
Perfect depth, Perfect structure
(Bait)
A worm-like plastic cuts through the water
Fluttering and flashing as it moves majestically
Creating the perfect representation of a fish’s favorite food
(Cast)
My dad tying the lure and double-checking the knock
Pulling the line through your finger to check for frays
Whipping the lure into the air and allowing it to fly
(Fish)
The slight change in weight
The lure starts to travel in the opposite direction
Recognizing the perfect time to set the hook into the corner of the fish's mouth
(Fight)
Anxiety from not knowing how the fish is hooked.
Pull back only the right amount, in order not to knock the fish off
The feeling of landing the fishing and finally holding onto a trophy.
From the first cast of the day to the last
from not getting any fish all day to too many to count
I did not choose fishing, fishing chose me
