The Art of Failure in Permit Fishing

Dave recounts a fly-fishing trip to Mexico, where he encountered the fish that now haunts his dreams. He reflects on how the experience is less about catching fish and more about testing fate, and what it means to release not just the fish, but your own power. He wraps up with an Ask Dave segment about a dinner reservation quandary.
