On the Plate

Today while wading the flats, I learned a lot about sight fishing and the experiences around it. It’s not just about catching fish. It’s really about soaking in the environment around you and being disconnected from your normal life filled with
technology and distractions from living in a city. You get to see the world through a whole different lens. Knox, one of our trip leaders, really made the wading trip very memorable because of his energy the whole time. He would do anything to help us have a good time and land a fish, even put his body on the line to save a bonefish from breaking off. I wish I was able to film this—everything was happening in slow motion. One of my friends, Blake, stripped slowly and then set the line tight. The fish started sprinting towards the volcanic rock. Knox was going insane, high legging it through the flats to catch up to the fish and then ate it. It was like a scene from a movie. It was SICK—that’s all I can say! Seeing Blake catch the bonefish wasn’t even the coolest part, the best part of it all were the reactions from everyone. The energy was contagious — screaming and hollering all around. Tingles ran down my spine. This is what I live for. Overall, today was outrageous!
