[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url][#0000ff]Sounds like a pretty good summary. Now try to remember all of that in the heat of battle...when one of those big nasties is staring at you like its next meal and throwing water all over you to soften you up.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I tend to fish mostly light tackle, and just about all of my biggest fish, of several species, have been taken while purposely fishing for smaller quarry. Whenever you find out you have hooked a fish that overmatches your tackle, it is kind of a bittersweet thrill. You are excited to have hooked the fish, but in your fisherman's heart you fully expect to lose it. What a thrill to actually whip one on light gear, and then to see it swim away to do it again for some other lucky angler in the future.[/#0000ff]
