One of my favorite quotes of all time from “Rivers of the Lost Coast.”

“When you hold a wild steelhead in your hand, and you’re the kind of person that hasn’t given up their original spirit to the narcotics of civilized routine, and you are there with that fish, you are getting something you can’t get any other way.”

– Lani Waller from the incredible documentary, “Rivers of the Lost Coast” about the collapse of the NorCal salmon and steelhead fishery due to habitat degredation, overfishing (sadly), and a series of natural disasters/floods that combined for a perfect storm of destruction.
