That's another activity I just don't get. The fish market's right down the street. Can get som new deboned filets for $3.70. Seems like fishing for food is a bit of a hassle.

There's nothing like fresh fish dipped in a mixture of corn meal and flour and then fried in peanut oil. You can't beat the scenery, birds (and beer tops popping) are the only sounds you hear, and the stress of the week just melts away.

I feel the same way about hunting. I can't see the attraction of spending major money on the license, the shotgun(s)/rifle(s)/bow, the intl. orange clothing that makes me look like Elmer Fudd on a bad color TV, then getting permission to hunt on the lease, worrying about getting my a** shot off by some other sleepy drunk out there, and dragging my lazy butt out of bed at 4 on a below-zero morning when I can drive to the market and get all the good meat I want or get venison from all my friends who DO hunt.

But I'll confess that I'm biased when it comes to fishing - no store-bought fish can match the taste of a freshly-caught bass cleaned and filleted in camp and fried up in a Lodge skillet with corn meal and Crisco. Add to that potatoes covered in foil and baked in the skin and a few brews, and its a meal fit for the gods.

LOL! That sounds like my daughter.
