The last Elite
This is not a sport about the fish. The sport is on the other end of the line. The man, or woman, holding that reel, and their families. K-Pink and K2 taught me how to deal with the worst possible loss imaginable with grace and honor. And changed me as a person.

Thousand voices
I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
The Forever Launch
The Forever Launch. Long after its impossible to sit there on "Papa's" lap, long after you stop answering questions by sucking your thumb, long after you grow out of the children's fishing shirt, you will cast a line, and set the hook.
