Fishing ain't hunting, whatever some men say to make it sound less dull. Every water's got its own rules — what it hides, what it wants fed to it, what weather makes it bite. Kept notes on all of it. Cheap bait catches supper. The special lures cost more and catch something worth remembering.

Small fish like these ain't worth much on their own, but they're everywhere, and a man's got to eat between the bigger jobs. Bigger specimens of the same species turn up rare, and they fight like they know it.
The big ones don't come easy, and they don't come quiet neither. Every one of these ran the line out near to snapping before I got smart — stopped reeling in straight and started working it, pulling up hard then letting the rod drop back before the next pull. Slower that way, but it wears them down instead of you.
