Fishing is relaxation for some

I saw him out of the corner of my eye as I drove over a bridge and decided to stop. I quietly walked up behind his secret fishing spot and captured him doing what he does best on a warm Thanksgiving afternoon. "How long have you come here to fish," I asked. He looked towards the water, "Oh, five or six years." I was curious what his catches were like and he told me, "I usually get little fish, more so then big ones." 

There is a certain relaxation to fishing that can not be matched. 

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Henry David Thoreau 

Night fishermen on the pier

There is so much action on a pier late at night. Have you ever walked a pier after 9PM? Fishermen and even women are at every corner.

I slowed the action down in the Gulf of Mexico by leaving the shutter open for 30-seconds in this picture. I was with my wife and I jokingly told her, "I'm going to ask the fishermen to stand extremely still while I take this photo." She looked at me and said, "You can only ask me to stand extremely still, that would be weird to ask them." So I took the picture as is.
