THE 15 PRIORITIES OF FISHING
1) doing something
together
2) watching the bobber
go under
3) feeling that tug/tension
on the line
4) what you catch
5) size of what you catch
6) was number 5 BS?
7) was number 6 BS?
8) what bait/lure you use
9) save/eat or catch/release?
10) how “buggy” it is
11) did you bring effective
bug spray?
12) how many red-and-
white ornaments did
you hang on the
trees?
13) are you absolutely,
positively, honest-to-
god-may-you-never-
catch-another-fish-
SURE about your
answer to number
5?!?
14) adding a “Mulligan” of
(at least) one inch to
number 5 is a given,
(to everyone BUT the
game warden)
15) did you disregard ALL
the other priorities for
the sake of a negative
answer to number 11?
