You’re a Keeper—Lessons From Fishing and Life
I remember the first time I went fishing. It was with my dad. My twin sister and I hadn’t seen him in several years. Now back in our lives, visits with him included adventures—roller skating, target shooting, and scary movies.
A memorable adventure was fishing. I didn’t like dealing with worms that squirmed or baiting the hooks.
There’s something I quickly learned about fishing—not all fish were keepers.
Maybe, it’s just the sport of fishing—to say you caught this fish—then throw it back. Possibly, it’s for dinner or a fish story. You know, the thrill of using hands to describe you caught a humdinger. Perhaps, it’s to pose with a fish for a picture or a fishing contest. But sometimes the fish isn’t the one you were hoping to catch.
You keep some, you throw some back.
