Some say you never know until you have a line out

Some recollect when the line snaps and shout

But we all know someone or sometime behind a reel and rod

And it was giving us to by the glory of God

To throw a line out and simply wish on a bite

It's in the catch where the fish can put up a fight

Reeling them in one by one the memories stay in are head

Best place to be is the water someone said

With bait that ranges from live fake or food

It puts the mind at rest, gets you in a good mood

For the story's it makes can be told from younger gen to older

It makes you wise even bolder

To cast a line is to give it time for anything to bite

Might be heavy gear might be light

But its not all about the fish that gets you addicted

In a simple saying the scenery the sounds it depicted

A great therapy lesson for anyone to enjoy

When you catch a big one its like ohhhh boy

Its the sights sounds and feeling's that give away at the stress

To get anything off your chest

And just reel them in with a smile or a grin

Feeder rod float fishing or bait caster you can all master

Over the years you learn faster

To keep doing a hobby so many people enjoy

Bass pro shops so many people employ

To give the gift passed down from generations

That so many do in preparations

To hand down to one another to grow and create lifetime memories

To just get on the water with a tackle box of amentias

For there are so many types of fish and ways to fish

And if your catching you can be gutting and turning it into a dish

That would feed any hungry human that's not allergic or loves fresh or salt water food

Like my saying its all good

Will keep you wanting more after you learn and turn this hobby for a life lesson

It gets you to where you need to be out in the outdoors with progression

For any giving rambler

Fishing is in the heart of the angler
