A friend of mine was casting to roosterfish from a beach in Baja. I was taking photos of him and had slipped off my sunglasses because I was shooting with a wide lens and couldn’t see well with them on. I got into a position underneath his casting arm, and as I was shooting, his fly line hit the beach on one of his back casts. That caused the line to drop between the camera and my face. He made a strong forward haul. The fly line shot across my face, and the hook embedded in my left eye.
Believe it or not, I caught my first largemouth bass when I was 21 years old. I didn’t know anything when I first started bass fishing, but I studied psychology and behavioral science in college, and that taught me how to ask questions. I became ana-lytical about fishing.
