I remind myself of that moment, of that fish, every time we reach
the takeout on yet another tough day on the streamer hunt. It’s a
reminder to keep the faith. It’s a reminder that just because it didn’t
happen today doesn’t mean it can’t happen tomorrow. As a friend
likes to say, “Everytime you get skunked while streamer fishing
you're 2,000 casts closer to your next trophy”. If all this sounds
heroic and over the top, that’s because it is. That’s kind of what
streamer fishing is about, isn’t it? Bigger, meaner, faster, harder.
