#5. My wife says I spend way to much money on fishing supplies but I still love going up and down each and every aisle in Bass Pro Shop!!!
#4. I love all the big toys (like my bass boat and breaking in my new Mercury motor, it’s bad a$$)!!!!
#3. The thrill of the catch, it doesn’t get much better than that.
#2. The beauty of nature. I love the outdoors and I was raised on the Barren Fork River!
#1. The number one reason why I love to fish is that it is my escape. If you haven’t had a chance to ride down the river at dawn and enjoy your own personal sunrise then you are really missing out! Spending all day on the water, waiting for the next big catch is my idea of a perfect vacation!!!
