Had a several hour car ride yesterday with one of my fly fishing buddies- we usually talk politics, investments etc... And of course fishing.
Anyways- he starts on his far flung idea to fish for Giant Trevally. He talks with such passion about it (I get excited for him about it). Was told a story yesterday how a trout bum guide my buddy was acquainted with saved his money from a season of guiding. Cashed in on all his favors used his discounts and still spent a pretty penny buying a very expensive Tibor reel and some huge Sage rod to chase his dream- he refers to the fish as the GT.
Well the guide did end up hooking a monster GT- and in the course of the fight he broke his rod and lost his reel. I guess they can get to be up to several hundred pounds and fight like nobodys business. Have no doubt someday my buddy will make it to the South Pacific to chase his obsession. My bud says if the same thing happened to him he would be happy about it- that's obsession to me. Mine at this point is just to consistently catch fish.
