Question

　　John Steinbeck once said,“All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing（公开指责）mother-love or hating moonlight.”

　　I can't say that I'm the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was The Pearl when I was in middle school, but I couldn't agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming. Fishing is my life.

　　According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.

　　Though a beautiful picture to imagine, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life from many people and a way to escape everyday stress（压力）. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.

　　I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on bis boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didn't understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I've spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.

　　After days of practice, before and after work. I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss. Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19-inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a lift-changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.

　　Since then, prime-time（黄金时间）season seems to take forever to arrive.

　　Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out to Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.
