I don't really worship fish, but I have noticed most people my age (20's) don't care enough to learn the scientific name of a bass. Let alone gather with other people for the sole purpose of learning about and discussing fish. Most people my age are never even around any bodies of water, unless there is some kind of water sport going on. Lets face it, this is the extreme sports generation, and hogsuckers and darters just don't provide the adrenaline. Today it rained for several hours before finally letting up so I could go outside and hike the half mile trail to Coldwater Spring. Nature is highly under-rated with today's youth.
