While preparing for a road trip, a passerby
makes a musing comment.

Troy Lindner and I are eagerly
gearing up for an out-of-state fishing tournament. Tournament bass fishing is
one of many targets on our road trips; trout, carp, and tiger musky stops are
commonplace.
We're packing up the ride and getting ready
to pick up the boat when an older gentleman casually walks by. He pauses momentarily,
his eyes lingering on the back of the vehicle, then turns to me with a straight
face and says, "So, you like to fish."
