Being outside and on the water is a big stress reliever for me.Fishing is the only thing that can take me down to a 2 from a 10 then back up to 10 when you get that "tap tap".When im on the water its just me and the fish.Im not thinking about anything but the fish.No matter how bad a day ive had,fishing is my cure all.Lets not forget the rush of getting a topwater blowup.Trying to figure out ambush spots.I still shake like a leaf when im taking a big girl off the hook.I hoot and holler all by myself with nobody in earshot.I love the "collecting"(tackle gluttony) part of it as rods reels and lures have long replaced sports cards.Simply put,Its my thing,and always will be my thing.
