I LOVE to fish. However i've never caught one. I don't bait my hook, however, one time i put a banana peel on it and i caught a TURTLE. Now this was not just any ole turtle...

This honey pie was 10 foot long and weighed over 100 pounds and yes i threw it back. Scared the suntan oil off me.

Ok maybe he wasn't that big but if people can lie about the size of there...ummm, fish, then i can lie bout the size of my turtle.

Fishing is very fun though, throwing that line out and reeling it back....awww, wonderlishous.

Wow! I haven't ever caught a 10' / 100# turtle on a naner peel!! lol
I caught a (about 80#) spoon bill aka paddle fish once. Got it reeled in to the surface, the drop down to the water was about 30 feet so I gaffed it and was pulling it up by a rope... I got it to the top of the fence line and almost ready to get it over the fence and it shook real good and flopped off! I was soooooo sad.

I would sit quietly in the rocks and listen to the sometimes bawdy stories he and his friends would tell. We had an open faced tent and a kerosene heater for when it was cold and I remember that smell vividly.

The poles were big, set into holders pounded deep into the ground. They had bells on them, so when a fish would strike, not only would you see the pole dip sharply, but the bell would ring and whomever's pole it was would sprint over to "set" the fish and begin the long arduous process of reeling it in while their friends readied the long-handled net to scoop it out once it was close enough to shore.

I have never fished in Oregon. It's so pretty there though. I know I would be in heaven! Your story places me in mind of my attempt at ice fishing in Alberta, Canada. Naturally, me being a back woods, country boi, I thought those people were insane building a fire on a 500ft deep frozen lake. I could hear the water swooshing under the 2 ft layer of ice and cracking and banging noises. Naturally, I had to act all butch and pretend my knees weren't weak LOL! It ended up being very fun though.

Did you get any Red Fish and White Shrimp when you were in Louisiana this last time? I want to go to LA and go Red Fishing one day this year.

Oh i bet you were sad: ergo the line..."the one that got away". I know that more real fisher types will post in here when they wake up or get online.

Good thread and happy baiting!!!!!

I was about 5 years old and me and my sister were out fishing with our dad, something we had always done and enjoyed. That day I wandered off and found a huge bush with all kind of prickly thorns, always curious, and wanting to see what it was about, not afriad of the round type of thorns, i went into this thing and managed to get them all over my then very thick hair, this ended the fishing trip for the day. We come back home, my mom was unable to comb them out o my hair, so off to the salon we go, to get my hair cut!

Fly fishing is the most relaxing way to fish in my opinion, and WOW when the fish hit the fly, it's quite a rush!
