Catching fish is a bonus

Editor's note: The following letter is in response to the Jan. 16 Good Sports column, "Conservation agent in Cape 'loves' the water."

With regard to Jeff Long's Good Sports feature Jan. 16, a buddy once told me, "God deducts no time when you're fishing." I fished my local pond on Tuesday and had one bite in just over an hour. It was still wonderful, and I can't wait to go again.
