Enjoy the great outdoors while you fish for bass or catfish

John Schwartz

It's that time of year again, when fishing calls us to the great outdoors! Fighting a lunker bass or a mean ol' catfish on your line just seems to somehow go perfectly with all the sights, smells, and sounds of Spring and Summer. There are so many great aspects to fishing that it's often easy to overlook them. Catching bass or catfish is great fun, of course, but there's so much more going on around us. Don't forget to take it all in!
Use all of your senses when fishing and you'll enjoy the day more while catching bass, catfish, perch, or nothing at all!
Sights
Use your eyes while you're fishing to soak up the scenery. It's too easy to get so focused on that trophy bass or monster catfish that you miss out on everything else going on around you. Turtles sunning themselves on the shore; ducks swimming along in a row; kids out enjoying a day on the lake.
Smells
So many fishing memories we all carry in our heads are tied to the smells of nature. The water, the flowers and weeds, and even the dirt your worms were packed in - all of these add to the experience every bit as much as landing that bass or catfish.
Sounds
Who can forget the sounds of their first fishing trip with the old man? The boat motor; the 'bzzzz' of your reel as you cast out your line; the 'kerplunk' of the bait or lure hitting the surface; and of course the frenetic splashing as you set the hook and reel in the first bass or catfish of the day! Not to mention all the birds and the quiet chatter with your fellow anglers.
So as another fishing season takes off, cherish the time you spend at this wonderful pursuit. Enjoy more than just the thrill of landing a big bass, catfish, or whatever else you're lucky enough to haul in. Stash away the memories of the great outdoors too!

The World Top Water Fishing Champion I was fishing a small lake in central California back in 1980, I think it was that year. I had been fishing for a couple of hours and doing ok, catching some 1-2 pound fish and in a far distance I could see this man walking up with a bright red jacket. The closer he got, the more I noticed his jacket and all the patches on it, one said 1978 World Top Water Bass Fishing Champion, along with about 20 other patches. We began to talk, of course, I wanted to know all about him and he began to tell me about how he became champion. Now, I do want...
