Who got me involved in fishing:
My father took me and my other siblings pan fishing on a regular basis in the summers of my childhood. When I reached the age to go fishing alone or with friends, I took interest in larger (tastier) fish. Now, I guess you could say that I'm a fishing addict.

Favorite Fishing Story:
I was out late one night, cat-fishing from the shoreline of Coldwater Lake in Michigan. One of my buddies saw his line moving slowly (usually the sign of a fish on) so he picked it up and gave it a tug. As he was dragging in this heavy monster, he had a big smile on his face... until he pulled it up on the shore where we realized that it was not a fish. It was a 20-25lb Snapping Turtle. Since it was already late and we hadn't caught any fish, we decided that this was good enough. Meat is meat, right? We got the fillet knife, chopped the head off, and looked up snapping turtle recipes in an outdoors book back in the cabin... cooked it up along with a couple frogs we managed to catch, and that was our lunch the next day. Oh, and by the way, the snapper's heart was still beating 2hrs following the removal of his head. It was beating even when we disposed of the remains. I'm convinced that the heart is STILL beating and it has managed a way to grow a head and 4 limbs back. So my most memorable fishing experience didn't really involve FISH whatsoever.

Best Fishing Joke:
Three blondes are sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water. A Game Warden comes up behind them, taps them on the shoulder and says, "Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your fishing licenses."

"We don't have any." replied the first blonde.

"Well, if you're going to fish, you need fishing licenses," said the Game Warden.

"But officer," replied the second blonde, "we aren't fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we're collecting debris off the bottom of the river."

The Game Warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were horseshoe magnets tied on the end of each line. "Well, I know of no law against it," said the Game Warden. "Take all the debris you want."

And with that, the Game Warden left. As soon as the Game Warden was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing hysterically. "What a dumb Fish Cop," the second blonde said to the other two. "Doesn't he know that there are Steelheads in this river?"
