It's been fun reading all the differing experiences people have that make for a good outing. I hate that car trouble thing though, had too much of that in my life.
For me I study hard about fishing tactics, water, species, etc. It's in my blood. I do everything I can to catch fish, lots of fish! I love releasing and watching fish, especially BIG fish, swim away. I love the looks on peoples faces when they learn I released everything I caught. I've had a good trip when I go out and fish hard, doing everything I can, trying many different technics and locations to catch a fish whether or not I do (I'm usually successful catching something). It's fantastic showing off a torn up thumb at the end of the day and hearing my wife say, "poor baby." I normally enjoy getting away from every thing and everyone, except my family or closest friends, but this year I had tons of fun taking out some folks new to fishing and helping them catch a bunch. They at least listened while we were there. I love helping my wife and kids try something new and have success. I enjoy good natured competition and a little trash talk. I love fishing new water and new species. Sometimes I feel pretty stupid when I get home and realize I never noticed my surroundings - the sky, water, trees, and other wildlife. I'm trying to do better at that.
I've had far more good trips than bad. I can't wait for the next trip! I've got a bunch of new rod, reels, lures and electronics to try! Wahoo!
