Fishing Made Easy

I like fishing but I don’t LOVE it, you know?

The fishing video below will simply AMAZE you, so it doesn’t really matter if you are an “angler” or not---no one will find it boring. Some might even find it downright scary.

The best part about fishing is spending time with my children—the kids, of course, are all about catching the fish. When young, it was Dad who would bait the hook—and definitely the one de-hooking the unlucky fish after being yanked from the water.

Catch and release.

Put a hole in their mouths, lose a few worms and then toss the little suckers back—all to the accompaniment of squeals from fear/delight via the kids.

Naturally, there are days when the “fish are not biting”. The notion of so-and-so being a “great fisherman” is a conceptual mystery to me. What exactly is the skill set that makes one a good fisherman? Is it an intuition for where the fish are? Is it a knack for baiting the hook in a special way—or knowing what type of bait presentation is attractive to fish?
Or is it all of the above and more?

Watch this video and realize that there are some days when you can’t go wrong. Fish just seem to be jumping up and catching themselves:

Incredible, no?

Were I in that dinghy, I think I’d be wearing a helmet.
Can’t truly determine if any of those guys in the boat are “good fishermen” or not, but they sure know where to go to get their catch!
