Size Matters in Fishing

On the high seas, a fishing trip can turn into an unexpected competition. We have two buddies here, one beaming with pride over a shiny salmon, big enough to boast about for seasons to come. The other, behind sunglasses that can’t quite hide his chagrin, holds a fish that’s more of a snack than a feast.

Fishing, after all, isn’t just a battle with the fish but often a display of skill. And it’s obviously not fun admitting someone is more skillful than you are. In the grand scheme, though, both men have won—the benefits of fishing include stress relief and boosting concentration.
