## Resource

Today we talk about WHY men fish, why we are so impressed with BIG fish – and finally, what inspired Herman Melville to write about the biggest whale ever seen.Many have suggested there’s something primal in the act of fishing. Man versus Nature and all that. There’s a well-known quote from the 31st president of the United States, Herbert Hoover, an avid fisherman, he said: “All men are equal before fish. ”
