Have you ever been fishing before?

[R_ūshī]

Yeah I have. When I was a kid we went fishing a few times. I don't remember if we caught anything tho cause I was always wandering on my own, lost in my own little world. We did catch octopuses tho. I remember it cause I was scrutinizing them for hours and kept like a million questions. They looked like aliens to me.

I remember catching little fish and bringing them home to keep them as pets. I did that only once cause they died within a week and I felt sooo guilty about that.

I also recollect my uncle about to throw the line into the sea and the hook getting stuck in the collar of my T shirt. That was funny. They all said that he caught a little shark.

Oh and there was a time when we saw some fishermen bringing ashore a shark they had caught. One of my cousins and I were trying to get one of its tooth. It was tough.. we didn't get it but at least ik how a shark feels.

Those are some great memories. Thanks for making me walk down that lane. Wouldn't have done that on my own.😅😅

[Izumiblu]

Yeah. I go a few times a year. My guy loves fishing so I go with him on some of his trips. I caught a 6 ft long sturgeon a couple years ago, my biggest fish

Many times, I go fishing at least once a month with my oldest daughter... it's more an issue of dragging her away from video games than opportunity. I live in Louisiana, there's water and fish everywhere. In Southeast louisiana pretty much wherever you are, if you have a stick, string, and hook, you can catch fish with a few minutes of walking or driving.

Just bring beer, it makes the patience part easier, and as the ice chest empties of beer, it fills with fish.

i have been with people who were fishing but not fishing myself. in germany you generally need a license which i don't bother to take the obligatory classes for. besides that there's litterally no public lake where fishing is legal and the private one make you pay for the fish you catch.

[oldguyincanada]

My wife is ostensibly the fisherperson here. That is she has a rod and lures, however no knowledge of how to actually do it well. Which is too bad because we spend weeks every year living on our sailboat.

I last caught a fish circa 1975 if memory serves.

All the time not much to do exspet hunt fish and drink on this side of the mountains west side there’s a lot more to do bu5 the people are really shitty but when you have shit and needles everywhere I don’t blame them and the government won’t put the people who are pooping all over the place and Leaving needles on the sidewalk in jail but if you are caught smoking a joint in public so help you I’d rather have you shoot up heroin then smoke weed

I'm not an avid fisherman, but I've been fishing quite a few times in creeks, on lake shores, off of ocean piers and an in the ocean on small boats. I don't get a huge thrill out of it, but I like eating fresh fish.

[camerongaskarth]

I actually don't think people should be fishing. I personally think it is unnecessary pain and possibly death for a fish that is available at the store and is about to become waste. It may just be my opinion but it is what it is 😁

[AndrewMG]

Never but it's something I've always thought I'd enjoy, just sitting on a riverbank in solitude maybe with headphones on and being totally at one with nature. I'd be a throw backer though rather than a keeper of the fish though.

[On_cloud_wine]

Oh, yeah. The pier is one of my fave places. It’s on my bucket list to learn how to skin them, though... never really paid attention—let the guys do the dirty work! It’s my job to make it taste delicious.

[ShadowofRegret]

I haven't, but the downward cutting motion for japanese swords has often been compared to casting a fishing line, so I might not have too much trouble getting into it if I ever do.

[lookin64]

Most definitely
Salt and fresh water
I would throw that one back though suckers are to bony to consume.

[jennifer_bloom]

I have either with family friends or personal friends or with family - it is a good excuse to spend time with people I love and care about but I'm more interested in watching other people catch fish than actually catching them myself

[andreasderjuengere]

Yes I did. And I turned out to be a complete failure :D
I had copied exactly what my friends did - left and right there was fish.
To me there was only laughter...

[singhharry]

No, i have never been for fishing. And i also dont wanna try it. I dont wanna hurt any living being for my fun or to eat.

[Jjpayne]

My grandfather and dad did it all the time but it was more my grandfather's thing. Not so much for me in scared of hooks :)

[Ianto]

Fishing? Yes, with a spear, which puts you on a more equal footing, and is fun.

Angling, however, looks pretty boring. What is the satisfaction in managing to deceive a creature with a brain the size of a pea?

[Waffles731]

Yeah its p relaxing.

Onetime on a fishing trip I caught a Spider Crab,
Though we had to cut it out of my line and toss it back.

Though I also caught a fluke and a striped bass on the same trip

[IAMNathanael]

Yeah, I've been fishing many times. I can never catch anything, though.

[Anpu23]

Yes, both my father and grandfather were fishermen. I was taken quite a few times. I'm vegetarian now so no longer.

[pleasestopthis]

No, but I would like to try. Do you know how to fish?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes , when i was like teenager with my Father and we went to
Mingo Creek Park the day before Easter Sunday they stalk it
with Trout fishing

[ImSparkly]

Yes. Dad took me and have went with some BF’s, but I don’t have the patience for it.

[alance99]

I have been to fishing once and i enjoyed though i couldnt catch any fish , i went with my friends and we hired a boat and the person driving the boat for us caught 10-12 fishes and gave it to us
