Sometimes those stumps are the winning stumps. Good luck

I lived outside Philly for a year. Travel to work 11 miles 45 minutes... I did not stay there.

Always look on positive side, You won’t need ice for your live well and cooler. You are saving money and you will get a few extra MPG out of the motor due to cold denser air intake.

This is the video I think of about winning. https://youtu.be/wIrdZ9PWahc?si=i2hvr2oUCfqPmNHc

Yeah, I think we all have.

Which one gets you to be “in the zone”? For me, Being less attached to winning actually puts me closer to being the zone. When I focus too hard on winning, it creates pressure that hinders my “ in the zone”state. A "pursuing the next fish" mindset keeps me present, focused and relaxed, which is where my peak performance is. It may seem counterintuitive, but loosening my grip on the outcome often leads to better results.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ for me relaxed, hyper aware and present for each cast works

Ugh

Work and finishing a couple of rods tonight. Good luck tomorrow.

You have a whole community supporting you. Positive mindset.
