Fishing

Post by Gamelver »

After all this time that F42's been up, I don't think I've ever seen a fishing thread :P...

I'm pretty into it myself, with bass fishing being my specialty (the one I know most about, at least :P) and I love fishing, whenver I can. I recently have been to a friend's lake house, where I got to fish along the shore, just wading, and catching some smallmouth bass. We went on a boat, too, but it was a big pontoon boat, and generally wasn't that great for fishing :P. I did manage to get one off it, though. Unfortunately, we were at the mercy of my friend's father, so we didn't get to fish as much as I would've like to, but it was still fun :). I may be going up to another lake this weekend and fish, as well.

I've done ocean fishing, too...my dad's friend owned a boat, so as a kid I went out with them once, and we fished in pretty shallow water. Caught a bunch of croakers, a couple rays, a trout by me, and a small hammerhead shark by my dad's friend (boy was that shark tasty!). I've never really been deep sea fishing before, though, so I'd still like to try that out sometime (though now I don't live near the ocean anymore :().

Anyway, post some good fishing stories here or just comment on fishing in general here, if you're into it :).
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

A cardinal, it's really high quality and best of all, it's made of brushed metal!

I go fishing at the lake a lot. No matter how many times I try, I still cant catch a catfish.

I fish sometimes, usually when we're camping. Now that I need a lisence, I think I'll fish less.

Yes, I'm not the only computer geek/fisherman/greatest super-hero ever on the forums! I mostly ice fish for perch on Lake Champlain in VT.

I went fishing in Canada near Alaska a few summers ago. Caught an 80 pound halibut and a 40 pound salmon. Took me 25 minutes to real it in, even though I have heard of up to 7 hour fights.

wow, 80 pounds really beats my record of a 4 pound catfish :P i like to fish but don't get to do it much because there's not many lakes around here and the fish in the pond are smarter than the people who try to fish them :P

I Love fishing. I went up to Minisota 3 summers ago for a fishing trip and caught a 23 inch northern pike (yummy!). Me and my uncle caught about 70 Perch in about 2 hours. It was so fun.

I will be moving up to Michigan in about 2 months so I will be fishing more often. I own 2 boats and my grandparents who live about 2 minutes away live on lake huron. Right across from the house we bought there is a small lake called ceader lake and they have lots of cat fish and bass. Can't wait!!!

What is the biggest fish ya'll have caught? Mine was the 23 incher!

Fishing is more fun with explosives (that is when you don't get caught).
