     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(公开谴责)mother-love or hating
moonlight."?
     I can't say that I'm the biggest John Steinbeck fan.Actually,the only thing I can 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 Lay Lake,fishing
off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon(大海鲢)or catching rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼)in
the Shoshone River of Wyoming,fishing is my life.?
     According to the American Sportsfishing Asso ciation,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.Fi shing is a way
of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress.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 his 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 have spent the past 16 years on the rivers and
lakes of Alabama.
     After years 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 life-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.? ??
