The Catch of the Summer


All summer long I’ve found myself fishing North Lake whenever the weekends would permit it. There have been hardly any days which I caught more than 5 good fish. More often than not if I were to catch 1 or 2 fish a day I was content. This weekend the tide finally turned and Jon, Daryn, and I caught over 20 fish in two days. We had a blast. Not only did we catch a lot of fish, but Adam Knapp was there to photograph each and every fish.

Simply put this past weekend was the mother of all weekends with respect to fishing. I had the time of my life pulling in fish left and right. More importantly I want to explain why this experience was so good. Throughout the summer my inability to catch fish brought me to this past weekend where heaven opened up and the fish poured out. It was the countless hours I had spent on the water not catching fish that made this fishing trip that much more incredible.

This is a tribute to everyone out there that spends huge amounts of time attempting anything that yield little results. Stick with it and hopefully all your hard work will produce the desired result you are after.
