No, that's good because, again, when I did this one, and again, just wanted to, the reason I'm mentioning all that at the beginning is because that's why this is one of the ones, when it comes to film and education and showcasing, All of recreational sport fishing is what I love to do, you know.

Right.

You have, you know, some people think that unless you're catching, you know, 300-pound cow tuna, you know, you're not a big game fishing, right? If you're a pond fisherman that we've done at, like, Jess Ranch Lakes or the other pond fishing, that that's not fishing, where it's all recreation, man, and fishing.

And like I say, coming back from Hawaii, you got to see the way that they've been fishing with their – because I say fishing is a universal activity.

Right.

Even though it's a recreational sport, it's something that we've been doing

to get groceries – Well, I'll also add this, the nice thing about fly fishing, and you know this because you have tried fly fishing, it's a lot more thought process.

You're trying to figure out what the fish want to eat, which changes constantly, especially in freshwater.

And so you've got to match the hatch, as we say.

And if you're tying your own flies, you've got to anticipate what that hatch is going to be, and tie a broad spectrum of flies to put on the water.

And there's some study

of that, right? I've seen them, like, one of the parts I put in the video, these older gentlemen look like they were still little boys tinkering.

That's it.

You know, you're tinkering at night, getting it together.

They have these little things that slid every fish that they caught, and they kept running.

So I was just imagining, and what I say about that, these guys were probably in their 70s, right? But you could tell that in their spirit, they were like 12 again, you know? Getting ready the night before

to go out

and put their stuff together.

Exactly.

Half the fun is the preparation, getting your gear ready, tying the flies at the vice, knowing that you're going to be up on a specific river, the Umpqua or whatever it may be, and you've got to have just the right fly for that river.

and you've done your research you know what you got to do you got to tie it all up and then you got to get there now the thing about the film festival is we've got 10 films that are from all over the world these guys have fished everywhere and done everything in fact i made you a tear sheet here too thank you very much So a couple of things.
