I think that fishing is all based on respect: Respect for nature, respect for the other fishermen, respect for the preys. People think that fishing is 100% the fish you catch, they all think that the bigger the catch, the better the fisherman.
For me, even if I have caught several record-breaking fish in my life, the catch is the least concerning part. When I go fishing, It is a moment in which I have the chance of spending some quality time out of the daily routine, it is an occasion to spend some time with friends and family, and to stay in contact with the sea. Trust me when I say that, the earlier you will forget about catching the biggest fish, the better will be your catches and the bigger will be your satisfaction.
Fishing is all about giving back.
