"Playing a fish is a form of jujitsu. It is a contest that rests on a single cruel irony. One of the combatants has knowledge that the other lacks: the futility of the struggle. An old, smart fish understands the game. It will not fight back. It holds in the current, confounds the fisherman, and stalemates the battle."
Lou Ureneck, Backcast
a book about healing a father-son rift through a fly-fishing adventure
