"There’s no such thing as a bad fishing day. The days when you don’t catch fish make the days that you come home with a bag all the more enjoyable, but it’s about more than catching fish. Being out on the water with whales breaching, flocks of birds wheeling and calling overhead, and nothing else but a horizon all around you is the space where I’ve done some of my best thinking. I’ve made a lot of the best decisions of my life sitting out in the ocean, staring at the sky and contemplating the endless energy of the swell."
