As a child, I can remember CBS Sunday Morning being on in the background of
weekend breakfast making on the little color television on tucked in the
corner of the kitchen counter. I don't know how long that show has been
on but they sure have done a lot to keep the feel of the storytelling the
same.
It's not lost on me that I likely sound like the
"Koi Judge" when I talk to non-carp anglers about taking trips to Beaver
Island and other places to try to get these fascinating fish to eat a
fly. I'm okay with that but it does make me chuckle to myself. Are you that nerd, too?
