The fishermen were not dead, just caught up in their priority. Parenthood changed my priority. It was during this period that my husband and I had our best fights. I was determined not to be a 'fishing widow.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhile the author fished with her husband, she says, \"I'm more like his pocket edition.\" Together they have explored the aura of fishing in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, the Bahamas, and Africa.
