Deep sea, fresh water, fly fishing, I love it all. I haven’t been in a few years and I kinda am upset at myself for it. Sometimes life gets hard and you just wanna spend a day out at sea, hunting a monster fish that you’ll throw back, but keep a couple of eating sized ones that you’ll promptly filet on the dock. As always, an ice cold road soda for the end of the day. Maybe a cigarette, if that’s your thing.

It’s all about the fight and respect for the fawkin ocean.

It's awesome and one of man's greatest pastimes. I love it too, fresh salt, all of it. Like you I have not gone fishing in years. I've never done deep sea, only fishing off a pier or from the beach. I want to try fly fishing too
I was lucky enough to grow up in an area of Milwaukee where I spent a lot of time deep sea fishing with my dad, my uncle, and his crazy, alcoholic friend. Loved every second of it.

Imagine fighting a monster like this and seeing that giant mouth break the surface for the first time, after a solid hour of fierce combat on a blazing, sunny afternoon about 10 miles out?

You guys should get back at it when you get a chance. Even if I've had a frustrating amount of shit go wrong or didn't catch anything I've never regretted going fishing.

I fucking love fishing and spend a good amount of my spare time in the spring/summer/early fall getting hammered while fishing in a kayak. I'm kinda stoked for ice fishing. I have yet to get a decent sized walleye through the ice.
Always wanted to do some lake fishing, Abe. Have you ever caught a Muskie? Those things look insane. I’d like to try ice fishing too, it would be fun to come up to Canada and knock back a few with a legend!

For my 13th or 14th birthday I got a pole and tackle box. I went down to the lake and started fishing. I walked away from my pole for a bit to check something out with my friend, as we are getting back I'm within feet of the pole and I see it just gets dragged right into the water. I was so disappointed as a kid. I even braced it against a root and it still went flying into the drink

Fawk… but I bet you learned your lesson, Panster.

I would like to do it. My shit always gets tangled, then I get frustrated and give up
It’s very zen. Sometimes you’re gonna get tangled. Just get through it and keep goin, brothaman. My dad made me learn how to fish with a bait caster for bass when I was like 10, and to untangle my own birds nests. It sucked at the time but I used to alpha all my buddies by using a grown up fishing pole at the canal 😎

I've caught smaller ones and had a crazy fight with a huge muskie but lost it at the boat because my buddy was being a faggot about netting it. I'm usually going for bass when I'm just out in the kayak because they put up a fun fight but they can't pull me around and I ideally don't want to deal with something that can bite me when I'm in the kayak. I got a big ass pike one time that I had to let pull me to the bank so I could stand up and bring it in on land.

I've also never caught a salmon and I have tons of opportunities to do that around here. I caught my first trout this summer from a canoe.
