A few fishing quotes your Captain enjoys:
“Anglers have a way of romanticizing their battles with fish.”
“Be content: The sea hath fish enough.”
“The angling fever is a very real disease and can only be cured by the application of cold water and fresh, untainted air.”
“A thousand trips go by, indistinguishabe from one another then suddenly one comes along that is fatefully perfect.”
“A Fisherman has many dreams. Sometimes dreams, even those of a fisherman come true.”
