I love LOVE fishing, can't get enough of it, however I squeal like a little girl trying to get the fish off the hook when it starts wiggling.... i try so hard to do it quietly, I just can't help it.

all this talk of fishing...

Its been a lifetime thing for me. I drove a boat since about 9 yrs old. i grew up on the bayou so it was what we did. I do not believe in catch and release, i only kill what I eat or give to others. When my freezer was full, i would drop off my catch to the old men who fished off the bank. They said their wives thought they were catching all of them haha

My little house on the bayou was my heaven. I could be in my fishing spot in less than 10 minutes. On the weekends thats how i start the day. The bayous by my house filled the bayous and the intracoastal canal could bring me all the way to the big lake. Sometimes i just went gator watching with my trolling motor. I saw otters playing, blue herons flying, pelicans, turtles.... it was truly my paradise.
I could fish until dark fishing the banks all the way in.

It was always crazy seeing the looks on the other fishermen's faces when I would fly down the bayou all alone in my aluminum flatboat. (One scared the crap out of me and not in a good way)

As an adult I competed in fishing rodeos down at the gulf and had a garage full of trophies and plaques! I loved it.

I took up freshwater and flyfishing and found a whole new love. Bass fishing is my true calling!

I have only been out there a couple of times since Katrina, its just not the same now. Maybe one day..

Y'all are making me sad with fishing, I miss it and haven't done any since I left Oklahoma.

Honestly now that I am away from fishing I have been thinking. People have asked me "how can you do that to the poor fish?" I guess I was desensitized and never thought about what the fish was going through on the other side of the water. I have fought a large 40 pound redfish for 20-30 minutes until i just gave up. That doesn't make me feel good now.

I have no problem killing something that is threatening me, but the fish haven't done anything , other than being hungry at the wrong time.

It made me start re-thinking the whole thing.

I cannot stand the sound of the squeaky shoes on the gym floor during basketball.

I think, human or animals in the wild, we have to eat and would never take what we couldn't eat or share.

My apologies to the vegetarians or vegans out there.

I collect books and records and I organize them in "friendship circles". Like... putting together authors and artists who I think are or should be friends.
