Did something tap the line?
Anticipation is why the journey is half the fun

The line had relaxed as the plastic lure eased through the water and paused by the fallen log. The world held its breath in anticipation. It was one of those perfect moments when you know what is going to happen, but are still unable to fully prepare.

A weightless worm will dart this way and that if allowed the right amount of slack. A beautiful, easy to catch, tasty morsel moving into position not only rouses memories of other fishing trips, but taps a deeper place in the angler’s mind. Where for a few moments the realm of possibility is greater than reality. Our mind’s eye rarely pictures a small fish about to attack the bait … on the tee box we never picture a bad shot. Anticipation always produces perfect moments. (Even for a pessimist, anticipation produces a perfectly bad feeling.) FULL STORY >>>
