Who got me involved in fishing:
I had to do it all on my own: never had anyone there to help me or teach me. So I got myself involved instead, since I love being in the outdoors, and ever since then I couldn't stop! I've been teaching myself since 9 years of age.
Favorite Fishing Story:
My first Brown Trout catch. That wold have to be my favorite fishing story...I was only 12 years old and hand nothing more than an aluminum fishing pole and the reel that came with it (I was already many many years older than me. A family friend saw my interest in it and let me have it since I didn't have anything other than a stick and some line at first). I had been baiting the hooks with some earthworms all day long trying to catch one as other people around me were getting them like crazy! Finaly I saw a bug crawling on the ground (I now know that it was one of those rolly-polly's), baited it on, threw my line in and just like that BAM! One had bit. My pole started to bend and I didn't know that I was supposed to let the line loose if it was trying to fight back. Finaly the pole bent completely over (unrepairable) so I started to just walk up toward the tree lines and had a few other anglers come to help me. After about a good 30 minutes of fighting and trying to get this sucker in, one of them reached down and pulled up the troud by it's mouth: a whopping 12 lbs!!! (the average weight there was around only 3lbs to 5lbs). I got a monster of a trout! A few people offered to pay me for it, but I just threw it back into the waters and let it be on it's way! I'll never forget that moment1 I concider that my first ever fish catch! (I have caught pleantly of crappies left and right, but never a trout, which was one of my favorite fishes!)
Best Fishing Joke:
An angler was trying to fish for bass for months! Using different lines and hooks, he just couldn't do it.
Finaly a musician came by to the shores and threw his line in. Just like that, he had a bite! He struggled for houss and finaly reeled the bass in!
The other angler was amazed and asked "Hey man, how did you catch that Bass?"
the musician replied: "Just simple music theory...I pulled it up with a trebble"
Wah wah wahhhhhh (not the best lol)
