Fishing Isn't a Team Sport

Part of what I loved about playing football in high school was the teamwork and being part of team with other guys.

Much of what I love about fishing is that it isn't a team sport.

How do both of those make sense?

Although I think that team sports are invaluable and were an essential part of making me the person who I am today, I also have always been a relatively solitary person.  I'm not a person that needs to be hanging out with friends every minute of the day.

What I love about fishing is that it's all me.  No relying on teammates or coaches or fans.  I make the decisions.  I do what I enjoy most.  I answer to nobody except myself.

The thing about fishing is that nobody can let me down.  Nobody can make me promises or encouragement and then break it.  Nobody can lie to me or try to one up me.  It's all me.  Does that make sense?

And part of what I like about fishing is that I can rely on it to always be there.
