For some of us it begins at an early age from a fishing perspective, with the capture of a fish that is far bigger than the norm. It could equally be the result of an outstanding net of fish. Whilst for others it may be a case of just to catch at all, and have a pleasant day by the waterside, it's really difficult to define.
In my own particular case, over the years I've fished for most species, but always with an eye towards the larger specimens. Each given attention at what we considered the appropriate time of year,ie- Carp, Barbel,Chub, Roach and Tench during the Summer periods. Pike, Perch and beach casting for Cod through the Autumn and Winter period. But as said, always with an eye towards the larger specimens.
Notoriety has never been a part of my fishing, it's simply too personal for me, other than sharing my successes with a few close friends,(sadly now disappearing at an alarming rate). I am still as passionate as ever, although the spirits willing, the chassis is falling to bits.
But what about you, what's your stance?
