Nah it's that "I don't have any teeth, but I'm still gonna crush my meal"
attitude, the high flying jump's and just the beauty of the fish itself.
I read a book from Field and stream and had some great lines one of them
was.. "The fish is a brawler. a potbellied thug with no respect for decency
or refinement" My favorite from the same book was.. "If the Largemouth were
human, it would invite you to step out of the bar and settle things with
fists, knives, or clubs. That' why I love catching them it's that ****ed off
look they give you that says "Ok put me back and try to do it again" and me
thinking OK, that's what I'm going to do :-)
