From the Publisher – February 2021

Passion is a word that can bring to mind many things. February is the month of hearts, flowers and chocolate as we remember those closest to us during Valentine’s Day. Sure, it’s just another greeting card holiday, but also a reminder of finding passion in our lives. What is your passion? For me, it’s spending time on the water with lines out and tunes cranking, while spending time with friends and family on the open seas. I never feel more connected to nature and my small place on this planet than when I am offshore fishing.

Finding your passion isn’t about a career or money. It’s about finding your authentic self. The one that’s buried beneath the needs of other people in your life. If you can’t stop thinking about something, then you shouldn’t stop chasing after it. Be fearless as you are in pursuit of what sets a fire in your soul. No matter your passion, pursue it with all of your heart. May this month that’s focused on love be a reminder for you to follow your heart and do what you love the most.

You may notice that there is no Brag Board this month. This month we got caught between a rock and a hard place when an advertiser decided to renew their ad at the last minute. We made the decision to pull the Brag Board to make room for our valued advertiser. Moving forward, we don’t foresee having this particular issue again. Please continue to submit your catch photos and we’ll get back to sharing them on the Brag Board next month.

Keep reelin,
