Default The Missing Fishing Gear

The BIG DAY is here...today you go fishing at a secret spot your fishing buddy had told you the pervious week, ...and its rumoured this spot is the exact spot where big daddy fishes hangs out....with a couple of cool females in tandem
well, the cats was actually out of the bag on the account that your pious buddy was drunk...thanks to your generous rounds of free flowing beers.

so you check and recheck your fishing gear, just to make sure you dont forget anything. you are armed to the teeth , yes sir...it rumble time, and you aint taking any chances.

But Wait....are you sure you didn't miss out on something important.....something important call ATTITUDE.
ARE YOU GOING FISHING ARMED WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE?...in our language ...the right fishing attitude.

Yup...attitude is one of the most important fishing gear most angler leave home without....the missing fishing gear

so whats the big fuss about this thing call fishing attitude?.....well, it wont mean a thing if you don't have any attitude to begin with, but to those who have , it means everything.

so what is the right fishing attitude?....it depends on who you are, really and how much you respect the fishes and mother nature.
any darn fool could come home with a coleman fill to the brim with fishes..but NOT everyone could release a coleman fill to brim worth of fishes and come home empty handed.

why some anglers are better than the rest , the dude who catches all the fishes, the dude who would out number your catch 3 to 1 anytime anyday...the dude who would beat you hands down each time without fail.

how on earth did he get to be this good?..
......nope! he's not using the latest Winston Boron or a Thomas&Thomas rod nor does he own a Vann Stall or a Bellinger reel....
......and double nope!...he doesnt have a lucky charm rabbit foot hanging around his neck....Elvis style

so really , how did he get to be this good?...he is good for one reason and one reason only...he went fishing with the right attittude....fishing attitude that is.

this is the kinda dude who goes fishing without the added pressure of bringing any fish home, the kind that wouldnt mind if he didnt catch any, the kind who would release his catches because he believe its the right thing to do...not because someone is watching and felt obligated to do so,
the kind that takes only photos and leave only footprints, the kind that love his fishing so much that he thanked the fish after each fight...thats the kind of respect he has for the fishes for he understands without the fishes there will be no fishing to begin with.

Could you be this dude with the right fishing attitude?...if you want to....YES.

just ask yourself this one question...if you could afford a $500 fishing outfit, why then cant you afford to buy a $2 fish at the supermarket if you feel like having fish for dinner?
