Addicted to Fishing

Derek loves to fish.  More than loving it, he is absolutely obsessed.  It began when Anthony took him fishing at beach house,

then Rio Vista Park ,

then the trip to the Redwoods, where he tried to catch fish with his bare hands because he didn't have a pole,

and in Sacramento, where he got to go fishing at the American River with Grumpaw,

and then he realized when he could spend all his free time at the golf course lake just a block away from the house. 

He doesn't just like to go fishing.  He knows about hundreds of different types of fish, baits, rods/reels, locations and life styles if these creatures.  He reads books about it, researches the Internet, watches u-tube videos of others fishing, recounts old stories about fishing, he reads recipes and prepares different kinds of bait, and on and on and on. 

Today he had the day off so he went fishing with this friend Nathan.  He was excited because he caught this big catfish...

I totally don't get fishing, but to each his own!
