This is a follow up to my earlier post "Who is the most hardcore fisherman" http://www.coloradofisherman.com/forum/index.php?topic=63.0
Everyone has their own reason to fish, what is yours?
I find there are several reasons that I fish. Some of them are:
1. Therapy. I go out on the lake whether its on the boat or shore and I get away from things. I get peace and quiet. I get a break from reality.
2. Quality time with my kids. No distractions just me and them, its amazing how much they will talk when we are fishing.
3. I get away from other distractions, the TV, computer everything electronic except my fishfinder.
4. I enjoy fishing, my kids and I have a saying, "any day fishing is a good day, any day catching fish is a great day".
It is such a great fun feeling to catch that first fish of the day, reeling it in and seeing how big it is. Friendly competition between my kids and me who catches the biggest or most. And of course the kids love it when they win.
My family notices a difference in my mood and attitude after I have been fishing. Sometimes my wife actually tells me I need to go fishing........Hmmmmm wonder what that means?
So why do you fish?
