does anybody fun fish anymore

[bassmaster]

That is the main reason I fish period is for fun and piece of mind. It's my church, my theorapy, my escape. Oh and yes Douglas when I fish I am a little boy again and I hope that feeling never leaves me.

God is my church. God created all of these things that we all enjoy. I truly love fishing (tourney and ?fun?) and all the turtles, frogs, snakes,birds, deer, trees, honeysuckle, etc...
A man (or woman) can have fun fishing tourneys or just fishing. I fish hard and do pretty well at tourneys and just fishing. I won't fish a tourney any different that just fishing and I won't go fishing unless I fish it just as I would a tourney. My way of doing it, my wife, and kids love it too!! I'm just very thankful and feel very blessed to have the oppurtunities.

God bless and good fishing,

I do it every day....for a living...but if I was not having fun doing it, I certainly would find another job. Life if too short to spend your time being miserable.

Life is great and some of the post below reminder me of my teen years using a fly rod to play with the Gills on our local lake. ..... And, before that, maybe a cane(sp) pole (or tree limb) with twine from the local butcher shop, bobber, and old hook and a fresh dug worm dug from the garden and a day at the local pond with that can of worms is where it all started for me; blue gills and shell crackers, don"t get much better for a young kid. Any one ever rember making a fish stringer out of a willow branch?

Got me Hooked until this day. My family and job have taken priority over fishing for the last 32 years, BUT NOW THAT THE WIFE AND I ARE RETIRED, I am playing catch up and also trying to learn some new tricks.

Definately having way too much FUN FISHING. First there the opportunity to share this GREAT HOBBY with the Grand Children. Then learning something about Striper Fishing and somehow catching a few keepers, and then the Walleye on LC and the Cumberland River below Wolf Creek....and did I mention the Spring Run of the White Bass into the Cumberland creeks. But then also, the winter season float and fly outings for SM, and then not to forget the spring bass fishing on our GREAT Kentucky lakes.

MAN, THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGHT TIME FOR AN OLD MAN TO FISH!!! This hobby is just T"OOOOOO demanding. (From a 64 year old kid having FUN ...He..Haw...HAW..

Whenever I get the chance to fish it's always only for the fun of it...it's all about the fun and nothing but the fun for me.

Even when doing tournaments, I treat to it as a fun event. Keep an open mind and just go fishing. I've done better doing it this way. I've seen my partner so stressed out during some tournaments that he couldn't even catch a fish.

I enjoy the challenge of figuring out the fish that particular day , some days I do, some I dont . Being out surrounded by Gods creation in my book is an unbeatable experience , whether its in the woods or on the water. Nature is a great place for me to unwind and get back to just being a simple man........I dont know who or what I would be without the great outdoors.

The way I see it, what's the point of fishing if it's not for "fun." I fish both tourneys and fun-fish, but as far as tourneys go, I do it for the good time and the thrill of competition...money is just a bonus (but a nice one at that. haha). But yeah, gettin out there and enjoyin what God created to relax and just have a good time is what it's all about, and enjoyin it with family and friends makes it that much better.

Hey Jarrod, I have an empty boat seat for tomorrow (Thursday the 25th) if you want to have some real FUN.

Everytime I'm at the lake, I'm having a blast. If the boat runs good and the bluegill bite every now and then, I'm there...........catfish too!

Alot of people get lost in the whole tourny thing.Secret baits,honeyholes, secret baits,blah blah,,,,,,,,Its fun tojust get out with dad and bull around and listen to him go on about his neighbors,family,and telling jokes.Dont get to do it very often,but its a trip of a lifetime everytime.Just my 2 cents

Tim it was a figure of speech I am a firm believer in the man upstairs.....However I will say that at no time do I ever feel closer to him than when I'm on the water or in the field!
