“Fishing is an activity that doesn’t care about social status — everyone is equal in their desire to catch fish. When they come out to fish, the richest and the poorest alike are bonded by their mutual desire. There isn’t much in our world that unites people from different backgrounds these days. But you can walk up to anyone with a pole in their hand and strike up a conversation by asking, ‘Catching anything?’ You might not get a straight answer, but you’ve started the conversation.”
