"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."                        -Henry David Thoreau

A fisherman's prayer

"DEAR LORD:

GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE SIZE OF THE FISH I CATCH, THE COURAGE NOT TO LIE ABOUT IT, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THAT NONE OF MY FISHING BUDDIES WOULD BELIEVE ME ANYWAY.

AMEN."
