Hey Joe: if you haven't figured it out yet, you've basically asked a loaded question to a bunch of obsessed pond freaks (I mean "freak" in a good way).

These guys can't look at a plot of land without imagining it covered with water. Hell, I'm carrying color printouts of smallmouth bass in my briefcase.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
