Champion  5376    PA |  Subject: Anyone here enjoy fishing?I grew up doing a lot of hunting and fishing but as I moved away from home I gave it up. Now that my son is 11, he has a huge passion for both so I have spent a lot of time getting back into these types of activities in order to spend fun time together. We had pretty much hung up the fishing poles for the year as hunting season started. However, when I got suckered into taking the wife to a baby shower today, I reminded my son that we could take our fishing poles along and fish a small nearby run to kill some time. Well, it turned out to be a great idea. In a run small enough for me to take a running leap across, I pulled out a 20" rainbow within 15 min of starting. My son caught a nice 14" as well. I have caught bigger fish but this has to be the biggest trout I have ever caught. Amazingly, it has to be out of one of the smallest streams I have ever fished. I guess that, and the fact that I got out of the baby shower, made it a great day. ha!  Edited by Pector55 2010-11-21 9:32 PM |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? Nice! I used to fish a lot as a kid, but there's not much fishing here in Brooklyn. I try to take my son fishing every summer, though, either off a pier or on a day boat trip. I miss fishing in rivers and lakes though. |

Extreme Veteran 872 Tx | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? I love to fish! But I've pretty much given it up for now b/c of tri training. It can be a huge time commitment. Large mouth bass is what I do most of. Nice trout btw! I hope you guys cooked and ate your catch. |

Pro 4277 Parker, CO | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? when I was a kid I went fishing with my dad almost every weekend in the summer. eventually stated fishing with friends and continued for a number of years but then I moved away from it. The past couple years I started fishing with my kids. My wife even enjoys going with us. It's great family time...even if you are not cathing anything it can be a lot of fun! |

Expert 793 South Florida | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? I love to fish. I even have two boats, a bigger one I use to fish offshore and a "skinny water" boat I use inshore. I have a dock at my house, so I can keep the little boat out back. I used to fish almost every evening after dinner. I had a friend visiting from out of town and we went out offshore. We only had the lines in for about 15 minutes when the largest yellowfin tuna I have ever seen took one of the baits. My friend was wildly excited, but I knew we had NO chance of bringing in a 250# tuna with only 400 meters of line. Sure enough, even though we tried to chase him with the boat, he spooled us and broke the line. Luckily, It broke near the hook so the fish wasn't swimming around with a long line trailing from it. That fish was probably worth a couple of thousand dollars if I could have caught it. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? Very much so. I love the water (especially the ocean), I love boats, I love fishing, and I REALLY like eating fish. Biggest fish: a 26lb yellowtail (not that big for a yellowtail but I won the trip jackpot) off Catalina Island, southern California.

Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? Yes. I LOVE to fish! Know next to nothing about it though, and usually just fish off the shore at my cottage. Awesome spot to catch large mouth bass.......... I need to get the courage up to do more than catch and release though. I feel sorry for the fish , and always let them go! Yes. Really. |

| Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? SURE DO! That's a nice rainbow! [HIJACK ON] I LOF largemouth bass fishing. So does my BIL and nephew. Bragging rights here - my nephew won all his tournaments this year and went to Nationals back in Oct. Too bad that he didn't catch anything in Nationals, but WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Additionally, the young man that won 2nd place there was part of my BIL's team, and he won a BASS BOAT because the first place kid DIDN'T WEAR HIS SPONSOR SHIRT!!! BIG TIME D'OH!! [HIJACK OFF] |

Champion 5376 PA | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? pga_mike - 2010-11-22 8:38 AM Nice bow. I'll share the largest trout of my life. 28" Brown. 7 lbs. New Zealand. You can see the size of the stream. Wow, awesome brownie! My son broke his arm 2 weeks into summer vacation this year so I bought 2 kayaks. I would tow him around several of our local lakes so that he could at least fish for sunfish and bluegill. We had a decent year with largemouth bass early in the season. We eventually went out night fishing. One night, we were on a lake in our kayaks. I had them tied together so I could help him since his arm was in a cast. He yelled, "Dad!" I looked over and he was hugging his fishing pole as it was nearly doubled. He was holding on for dear life for quite a while before whatever he had snapped his line. LOL Being as we were night fishing, it could have been a largemouth, striper, pike or even a big ole' catfish. We do catch and release quite a bit but we do keep some now and then. I am pretty good with a knife and I can flilet the smallest of bluegill if necessary. We kept the two trout we caught yesterday. |

Champion 4835 Eat Cheese or Die | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? I used to do it a lot as a kid. Not so much anymore. But when we go to my in-laws in Michigan we will fish from their dock. My 4 year old daughter loves it. Next spring my buddy has agreed to take her and I out in his drift boat. I figure we'll do a short trip and since she loves boats soo much the fishing will be a bonus if we catch something.

Extreme Veteran 3177 | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? I fish local lakes and rivers for trout mostly but also catfish during the summer spring and into the fall. I also go out for salmon as often as my friend with the boat goes out and troll for chinook, coho, and pinks. My trolling rod is light action so it makes the catching and reeling part a lot of fun. I am also hopefully, getting a saltwater spincast reel this winter so I can do some surf fishing as well. That is a nice looking rainbow, My biggest locally is a 13.5 inch triploid trout |

| Veteran 458 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? We live on a lake, but I don't like to eat fish and if I am going to be on the water I would much rather be doing something more active like skiing or paddling. However, my 6 year old wants to fish, so I am learning how to catch something other than pan fish. We have caught some perch and bass, but he wants walleye (doesn't everyone) and northern so I am still figuring out stuff like roach rigs, shinners, and lindys. |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: Anyone here enjoy fishing? Cool.  Odd story... I ride with a guy who use to be a pro cyclist, for 4 years. Although it was in his early 20's. At some point after that he moved from Spain to the States so he could become a bass fisherman. He now competes on the weekends and has a sponser. Although a day job too. Yep, true story. |
