I can't get enough of watching artist Mark Raisler cast a fly rod. Yeah, that probably sounds weird, but I accepted long ago that I'm somewhat deviant. My favorite line from him in the video:
Just make sure that first cast is perfect, and you get fish like that.Sure, Mark... As soon as I get back from Olympus and Asgaard, I'll remember to always make that first cast perfect. It's so simple...
Just remember what St. Norman said:
...art does not come easy.
I almost spit my coffee on the laptop. LOL
ReplyDeleteOnly do that if you're actually ready to shop for a new laptop. And for Pete's sake, don't do it if you've already mentioned to your wife that you've had the laptop for 3 years and are thinking about a new one. Just saying.
DeleteWell at least now I know what I've been doing wrong. Sounds like an easy fix. Funny video!
ReplyDeleteExactly. Why didn't we just think of that on our own?
DeleteIf my first cast has to be perfect, I better have a "Bull Pen" warm up period first! Tee Hee....................
ReplyDeletethen, if you strike out, you can call in a relief fisher!
DeleteEvery time I cast, it's perfect. Sometimes I catch a tree (that does count) sometimes I catch myself (dam wind!) sometimes I actually catch a fish.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise for a man of your experience, Howard. Rumor has it you also walk on water and rescue puppies from supervillains...
DeleteClose Chris. Actually I drink water and rescue myself from catching fish.
