Whilst I was fishing this afternoon along a beautiful stretch of water and deep in thought I suddenly realised that fishing is very much like this company and particularly this BB.
Let me explain.
Paul Griffiths and Lonny Baumgardner are the Kings of the fishing world, the Salmon. They are in charge and at the top. GRH, Keith and a few very knowledgeable others are the Brown and the Rainbow Trout. Very much sought after and able to outwit many. Thebold is the catfish. Big old lump that sits on the bottom and no one wants to catch. Nigel is the Gudgeon. Very small and often found in the shallows gasping for air. Porters is the Signal Crayfish. An alien species that’s not wanted by anyone and constantly snapping its claws to the annoyance of all. Myself and perhaps many others are a shoal of Dace. No harm to anyone, not much to offer and happy just to be swimming about. Now there’s the Pike. The biggest baddest predator of the river. It often lies hidden among fallen trees or in the reeds. Waiting in the shadows for an opportunity to attack and take out an unsuspecting passing victim. The Pike - A large O and G operator, a Govt, a massive wealth fund. Who knows. I suppose we all might in just a few more visits to the river bank.
Good luck and Tight Lines 😀
