Across the globe, the growth in the sport continued, bringing with it once-unimagined advances in boat design and construction, power plants, communications, sophisticated side scanning sonar, thermal imaging and much more. Throughout the ages, wherever the challenge, and whatever the species, extraordinary moments occur when fishing that few other sports offer. The exhilaration experienced during the presentation of a bait, leading to the bite, the hook set and the ensuing battle, are unique to each and every angler, and when they happen, everything else in the world dissolves away.
