A Fisherman's Prayer
First, a pic, since we haven't seen too many of these yet this year.
Second, maybe some of you have seen the old
Fisherman's Prayer
:
God, grant that I may live to fish
until my dying day
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray
When in the Lord's safe landing net
I'm peacefully asleep,
that in His mercy I be judged
big enough to keep.
It's a fun little prayer. It was also fun to think about how it could be rewritten for those of us who release our fish:
God, grant that I may find time to fish
Along life’s busy way
And when it comes time to cast
Then I most humbly pray
That I sense the Good Lord’s presence
So my struggling, it can cease
And by his grace and mercy
Find the freedom of release.

I don't always snag fish, but when I do...
I choose Little Cleos
I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

Look to the heavens and thank God everyday that hunting is such a grand part of our lives.

I like it
"For the supreme test of a fisherman is not how many fish he has caught...but what he has caught when he has caught no fish." - John H. Bradley
