First Fish of 2026

Verse 1 New year mist on the waterline Loggies Lake, it’s that time Cold air cutting through my sleeves But I’m warm with the things I believe Rods laid low, alarms asleep Secrets buried way too deep First blank page of twenty-six Still chasing that opening kiss Pre-Chorus Every cast is a question Every ripple knows my name I’ve waited all winter For this moment in the rain Chorus Still hunting my first fish of the year Patience louder than the fear Lines in the dark, hearts held tight Chasing silver under moonlit skies If it comes, it comes tonight If it doesn’t, I’m still alright ‘Cause I’m where I’m meant to be At Loggies, setting twenty-six free Verse 2 Ryan’s rolling in with the same old dream Different path, same routine Quiet laughs in the glow of the stove Talking bites like we already know Two cameras, one shared goal Carp out there with a mind of its own Time moves slow when you let it breathe That’s the way it’s always been Pre-Chorus No rush, no race Just water, wind, and faith Every beep could change the year Or just fade away Chorus Still hunting my first fish of the year Patience louder than the fear Lines in the dark, hearts held tight Chasing silver under moonlit skies If it comes, it comes tonight If it doesn’t, I’m still alright ‘Cause I’m where I’m meant to be At Loggies, setting twenty-six free Bridge Could be sunrise, could be dawn Could be nothing till the weekend’s gone But hope’s still heavy in my hands Like a rod tip bending in my plans Outro So here’s to blank nights and quiet wins To friends who fish where the story begins First fish or not, I’ll still remember This cold calm start to twenty-six, forever
