According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.

　　However，fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the jobs get too stressful.

　　I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Michel. Although I didn't understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I've spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.

　　After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19­inch cut­throat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life­changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.

　　Since then, prime­time season seems to take forever to arrive.

　　Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out to Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.
