Who got me involved in fishing:
My father took me fishing as a kid. I used it as a way to be closer to him. I stopped fishing for a while until I had kids of my own, now I enjoy fishing with my kids. I'm not a pro, and I don't usually catch a lot of fish, but I enjoy being with my kids at a lake or a pond and talking with them. The conversations are priceless.
Favorite Fishing Story:
We were fishing at Pratt Pond in Mason NH. i took the kids there to waste a day and "drown some worms". I had no expectation of catching anything, which is a good thing because I didn't catch anything. However my daughter caught an 18 inch bass. She did the entire thing on her own. She baited the hook, casted it out, caught the fish, reeled it in, made the decision to keep it or release it (she kept it) and helped me cook him and then she ate him. I told her "The only way we are going to take this fish's life is if you are going to eat him, otherwise we should let him go". That was one of two fish she has ever kept, the rest have been released.
Best Fishing Joke:
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place. First guy: " You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house next weekend." Second guy: " that's nothing, I had to promise my wife that I will build her a new deck for the pool." Third guy: " Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will remodel the kitchen for her." They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word. So they asked him. You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. " What's the deal?" Fourth guy: " I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said, " Fishing or Sex" and she said, " Wear a Sweater." (source - landbigfish.com)
