Hunting & Fishing & Guns - (Mens Men only)
So I was planning on fishing when I get home. I always catch the first one of the season at my house.
As I was finishing an email at work, I recieve a text message. This in itself is wierd because most of my friends have jobs, and work similar hours as I do. I see its a pix message, so I open it. Guess what I see?
I realize its my stoner roommate who doesn't have a real fucking job, fishing with my fucking fishing equipment caught a huge walleye right off our fucking dock! I've never even caught a walleye in the last 2 years of living on the lake.
So I continue to work, and I see another pix message.
A fucking rainbow trout! You gotta be kidding me. Thats another fish I've never caught in the lake, and he's pulling them in at 2:30pm on a fucking thursday. Go to work, damn it!
Anybody have any fishing stories? Like fishing? Hate your roommate? Share it up dogz.
In the summer I go crabbing with my friend in the puget sound and sometimes we try to catch whatever fish is out there. Crabing is some fun shit, I have a flannel shirt with the sleves cut off just for crabbing adventures. Which ammount to drinking coors lights and listening to KZOK.
I remember one time we went kinda nuts with the "fish bat" and he ended up with blood all over the back of his boat.

I go to Annapolis for fishing and crabbing, though I haven't been in years. Man, I think I'm adult enough now to buy a small dinghy to just putter around in and go fishing in the Chesapeake.
I caught 4 big brown trout last Saturday. I'm waiting for large mouth bass season to hit. I like something that fights like hell.
Around here, Crappies put up the best fight for their size. If you hook a big one, its alot of fun.
I fish for Black Crappie. Big ass panfish, good fight, and good eating.
Yup, thats the one I'm talking about.
The lake I live on is the biggest in NJ, its got all sorts of shit in it. All I ever catch are largemouth bass, rock bass, crappies, perch, and pickerel. I never get any of the good stuff (walleye, muskies, striped bass, lake trout).

God damn - I need to get back into fishing again.
I prefer some seclusion though, and the few places nearby (within 2 hours of driving) are usually packed to the brim when it's warm enough for fishing.

Once I caught a stringray, and in Louisiana I caught an alligator gar.
Rainbow trout are delicious.

When I was a youngster my grandfather and I went fishing quite often.
Now my idea of fishing involves lots of beer and a good book while a worm slowly drowns.
I haven't been fishing in 6 years. God how I miss it.
t Paku: what's a good place around here? I was thinking probably regular trips up to Horsetooth.
well i'm gonna go to this lake near florida and kipling which is "secluded" but close enough for me to drink beers and relax at, but if you're really looking for a cool place i would highly suggest jefferson lake
Our boat should be in the water sometime around next weekend, can't wait to catch a stripper, clean it and cook it.
Seriously though, I need to get a Canoe rack for my truck. As it stands, I can go camping and fish off docks, but really prefer to set anchor and fish offshore.

I went to a dude ranch when I was about 8 or so with my family
nearer the end of the vacation, the kid's group I was with decided to let all the kids go fishing from the shore
after 3 hours of anxiously waiting for all the fish to devour my bait, and realizing they were just nibbling it and getting it off the hook, I was ready to pack it in and hate fishing forever.
I decided to have one more bullshit try, and for extra bullshit I retied the line with just the hook
no bait
no bobber
no weight
no lures
just hook and line
I threw that sunovabitch out as far as a small British kid has ever thrown anything and lazily started reeling it in.
out of sheer anger at the fact that nobody was catching shit (me most of all) I pulled up on the line like an angry norse fisherman to vent.
what the hell?
DUDE WHAT THE FUCK NOW MY LINE IS CAUGHT ON A BRANCH AWRAWRAWRAWR
wait no it's wiggling
branches don't wiggle do they?
I start reeling in like a crack addict fishing for crack in a crack lake
shit shit shit shit SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT YES YES YES YES AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
onto the beach I pull a 12 pound Rainbow trout
No exxageration, no lie, 12 goddamn pounds
I pick it up and I HUG IT
then I run off to show my parents, fish in arms
Everyone is going fucking crazy behind me, kids running to catch me, councilors freaking because a boy is running around out of their care carrying a 12 pound fish with the hook still in its mouth and therefore, the fishing rod bound around behind him
I find them having lunch in the restaurant and I run up, fish still in my little arms, fighting for its fine
Sober as a judge, straight faced like death himself. Covered in fish slime, water, dirt, grime, grass and soil. Trailing kids and camp councilors alike. Holding a 12 pound fish that I had caught with less than what the cavemen had

I have found that I am a terrible fisherman. I get seasick so ocean fishing is out, and I hardly ever catch anything lake fishing. I can usually catch at least a small fish when stream fishing.
I haven't tried the drinking aspect yet. Perhaps that will make me a better fisherman.
Man, theres this little man made pond that we call "the muck-hole" over by a new condo development. When the weather gets warm, the pond is FULL of pickerel and bass. Its alot of fun to fish because you always catch a bunch of cool fish and its not that much work. The big lake that I live on is alot harder to fish, and alot of times you come away empty handed.

I don't think I'd want to eat any fish caught out of a body of water called "the muck-hole"

Ha!
I used to fish there before I lived on the big lake. It was alot of fun, cuz you always caught something. But you're right - it was close to a major road and I wouldn't have eaten one of those fish if you paid me. It was just for fun.

I did fish the Gulf of Alaska for Halibut. Nothing record breaking but I hauled in two 70lbs fish.
On the otherside of Yosemite I fish this stream for Browns and Rainbows. Usually pull my limit pretty fast.
I have never had luck lake fishing though. Rivers and ocean are my best places to fish.
I remember one time we went kinda nuts with the "fish bat" and he ended up with blood all over the back of his boat.
I fish for Black Crappie. Big ass panfish, good fight, and good eating.

I say
"I caught a fish"
my dad almost had a heart attack from laughing
the fish was delicious

Unless it's Alaska, freshwater fishing outside is chump change.
