“I Fish So That I Don’t
Choke People”
By Jim Weix
I saw a muscular guy
wearing that T-shirt at the gym
recently. I commented that I
thought it was funny. Then I
got nervous when he told me
that he hasn’t been able to
fish for over a month because
of Brightline’s closing the
railroad trestle. I took my
3-pound kettleball and moved
over to the old guys’ section.
While local boaters and anglers west of the railroad trestle
may see this issue as a local one, it is a huge statewide issue.
