“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

~Yogi Berra

Sports, she’s a tough business.

Becoming a pro in the sports biz is tough, walking away from it is even tougher.

Imagine this, you are a regular arse working stiff, a plumber, a car salesman, an insurance guy, you are in the brotherhood of the unnoticed, brown bag invisible.

But you have this secret amazing ability, you can catch fish, you can catch big fish, you can catch fish anytime, anywhere, you are a star fishing catching machine.

And suddenly you are standing on stage, the Internet brings you standing on stage to everyone in the free, and those still paying for it, world.  You have a fancy material shirt on with your name emblazed on the back, you become a selfie desire, people stand in line so you write “tight lines” and your name on tee-shirts, hats, and a cutout of your face on a stick.
