I haven't gone fishing in years, but it was always a lot of fun when I did. I should fish again sometime. :-X
Same here, it's been years really. When I was younger I used to fish often though, my grand father has a boat and we used to go fishing pretty much every other weekend and far more often during the holidays. I didn't catch much though, I was seriously impatient at such a young age.
Sometimes during the hollidays we go 'fishing' (means: sit at the waterfront, drinking a crate of beer an hour, getting totally drunk, and forget your rod)
I caught a one inch fish, with a big hook, about half the size of my pinky.... He was stabbed in the body.... and my first fishing catch was:A rock, the hook never came back to the dock, we had to cut it...
I can always go fishing because I have worms. I love going fishing in the winter, however all I catch is a cold (cough). But seriously, in my real life I go fishing with the old man from time to time. We mostly go to Keuka or Seneca Lake during the summer. He always catches fish and I don't, but in my defense I always insist that I had one on the hook but it got away... miros
I go fishing with my wife and son 4 or 5 times a year. We mostly fish for pike http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_pike I don't recommend pike fishing unless you have someone experienced with you because if you do catch one you will probably kill it and it may rip half your arm off if you're not careful. My biggest catch to date weighed 32lbs (14.5kg) and was about 3 feet long. One hell of a rush bringing in a very agressive fish of that size.
If you think pike are brutal dont go deep sea fishing a 4lb bonita(non edble tuna) will put most freshwater fish to shame.
Fans of fishing you just gotta have a look at this http://www.independent.ie/national-news/pensioner-sets-record-by-reeling-in-giant-shark-with-fishing-rod-1779397.html
