PONDERING CORE ESSENCE
NUMENON |
This entry certainly could have been included in a post about boat names; any New Englandah should appreciate good luck at sea. But I have to admit, I really like fishing for tuna. The bigger ones are exciting (even if they are a lot of work to land), and the smaller ones are sporting on the appropriate tackle. They are found in beautiful environs, they are beautiful themselves, they pull like mad, they are top predators, and they'll hit topwaters! What else could one ask for? I was fortunate to encounter several yellowfin tuna (and a bonito) during our recent trip to Costa Rica. From maybe 10 pounds to about 60 pounds (for me) or 70 pounds (for K), each was a gift, of sorts. The first appeared out of the blue to smash my popper, and the last was part of a most wild and surreal scene I've had the pleasure to experience. One yielded to the equivalent of walleye tackle, and my favorite provided an airborne strike from above, right next to the boat. To anybody who might read this; I wish you Bona Fortuna; or in my native dialect and way of thinking, Bonah for Tunah! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways
