Todd,
Quote comes from Havilah Babcock's book
"When A Lady Undresses" (1947)

Here's a couple more good ones for you;

"Neek, allI want to do is feesh, feesh, feesh. Everywhere. All the time." -Pierre Affre from "To Me" (1985)

Or how about an old one;

"In the Yuan period, the hermit fisherman became the symbol of the unemployed scholar...The true hermit scholar fished for fish, not fame; others merely pretended to fish while waiting to return to politics." Shengmu (1310-1360)

I love fishing qoutes and put a new one on my fishing reports page of my site every day. Just for you I'll use the Havila Babcock Quote today.

These quotes can be found in the book "The Quotable Fisherman" by Nick Lyons
Great X-Mas present for any fisherman.
Thanks again Kraig
