A Perfect Fishing Trip

Comments Off on A Perfect Fishing Trip

“Just once before I die, I would like to have the perfect fishing trip“. I’ve heard a lot of people make that statement over the years – myself included. I wonder what their idea of a perfect trip is? Is it catching the biggest fish of your life? Is it catching more fish than you ever have before? Is it having your picture published with some great angling feat? It used to be all of those and more for me, once upon a time.
