We're all the same once we get fishing.
I was at the T-pier GB last night (post and pics to come in Pier/Bridges section)and I was fishing with an older obviously Jewish gentleman, a ex-military black guy, and a couple from Nevada here on vacation. We were all getting along, swapping fishing stories and sharing bait and tackle and space. It was nice to see that in this world of fear and hostility that we can all leave it behind at the dock! No boundaries, no barriers- just fishin!
A few years ago I was shark fishing on the beach pier at like 1 in the morning. I strike up a conversation with a guy there and it turns out, he's a prominent attorney here in town. Loaded with money! He tells me he had to get out of the house to decompress and clear his thoughts. Huh- just like me!
It got me thinking- we all put our pants on one leg at a time. Children, adults, retarded, intelligent, black, white, yellow, brown, athiest, Catholic, Jew- It doesn't matter. Once you get to the water- we're all the same!!!
