I have to agree with you Henry. It is only getting worse. I can't get enough
fishing in and this come from someone that gets out once or twice a day most
days. When I was just fishing from shore, I couldn't get enough. Now that I
am out on the puddle pusher, it's a daily thing. Like changing my socks or
going to work. It's something I have to do each day. To not do so would be a
waste.

A recreational angler IMO is someone who thinks it might be nice to sit by
the lake with a bobber and some worms every now and then. Much like yourself
Warren I would love to take my bass fishing to another level. One day I
might get that chance. I just want to make sure that if it ever comes along,
I'm ready for it. I live for competition. I could think of nothing better
than fishing against top anglers from around the world and watching that
line run to the left 15 minutes before weigh in right after I pulled my bait
off a lilly pad or stump or rock etc etc etc. :-) Most bass fisherman say
they live for the fight, I fish for the 1 second before I set the hook, not
knowing what just picked up my lure. There is nothing like that feeling in
the world. Hooking a double with Harry today, will be a memory I won't soon
forget.

I also look forward to doing some recreational fishing with you Warren. I've
only fished with you a few times but I have learned much more than you will
ever realize you gave up. I look forward to exploiting that once again..In
the kindest of ways of course ;-)


My name is Randy and I'm a Bassaholic.

Randy buddy, you couldn't be more of a recreational angler! In fact,
based
on your stories & photos, you might just be the ultimate recreational

Wrong, Warren, to use drug terms, a recreational user might partake at a
party now and then, but an addict has to have it daily, and has
withdrawal symptoms if he doesn't get it. I've never met Randy, but from
his posts I can tell he's a full-fledged, chum snortin', wall-eyed, lure
painting, photo taking bass-head!
