One Of My Favorite Fishing Pictures

They say a photo tells a thousand words, and this one really tells much more. This photo was taken back in 2004, and is one of my all time favorites. Not only for the image itself, but the period in my life when the only thing I had to worry about was when I was going to be able to catch my next fish. Fishing Fury dot com didn’t exist yet because we didn’t have a name for the site. We had spent a lot of time fishing Toronto Islands that spring, and covered just about every inch of shore accessible by foot. Even though we were both working full time during the week, we’d make sure we had our rods with us each day so we could fish afterward and get in a few hours before sunset. At least 90% of our pike were caught using Mepps Black Fury inline spinnerbaits .

After tossing around several ideas for a website name, we finally decided on a name we both loved immediately. Combining our favorite past time, with our favorite lure, Fishing Fury was born.

fish·ing - the technique, occupation, or diversion of catching fish
fu·ry – unrestrained or violent anger, rage, passion, or the like

Toronto fishing

With a name chosen, we wasted no time and unleashed our unrestrained passion for fishing to the world. Fishing Fury has been, and always will be about sharing our love of fishing with anyone and everyone.

Re: Bioline Contest!

Finally! If only people didn't leave their excess line at fishin' spots. Isn't most regular monofilament a petroleum byproduct?
