I heard the guy on a picture is a pro fisher...
On a serious note, I have wanted to try myself at fishing for a long time, just don't seem to find a proper company for that. |

I'm not the right person to go fishing with. I no longer go to catch fish. I just go now to spend some quiet time and hope I don't catch a fish.

Can a fish this size be caught with a fishing line?
It probably weighs 50 kilograms!

At any rate, so goes the story, that I used to be able to cast out a line and reel in a pretty fat bass. My childhood also consisted of fishing by the seashore, and many hours were spent crabbing off a pier. There's no telling how many hundreds of pounds of crab I pulled in back in the day. In a given day we would pull at least a hundred crabs... Good times. But my conversion to a vegetarian ethic forever swayed my view on fishing. Personally, I don't think that I can afford the karmatic consequence of fishing, given my own indulgent history. The last time I remember fishing, I was casting nothing but a hook...I didn't care to use a worm for bait, and my sincere intention was to not catch anything (though I hear some species of fish will bite at a shiny hook). At any rate, I do enjoy the serenity and peace of fishing, but the egos that accompany a "big catch" can best be left at shore. There is nothing in THAT for me today... |

Vegetarianism
In the beginning, I was a voracious carnivore.
Then, became a vegetarian for 13 years for spiritual reasons. The urge to eat flesh just left me. Then about a year ago, it didnt matter any more. So I switched back to eating everything. I mean no restrictions on my eating habits. It took 2 weeks to habituate with flesh and the smell of onion and garlic. 13 years are a lot of time. It changes your habits, your taste buds! Now I can live on any kind of food. I have no fancy of "like and dislike". I mostly eat chicken, less fish, even lesser red meat. Lots of leafy green veg & pulses. Ah, lots n lots of fruit juice.

My favorite girl-girl sex partner, a bisexual and drop dead adorable girl in her early 30's, has a 21' bassboat with a 250 horsepower motor and all the bells and whistles. She is all-woman but can hunt and fish like a pro.
Sometimes she invites me for a trip to a pretty lake not too far from where we live. I do have a fishing license and she has helped me get some fine rods and reels and has taught me to cast without making a bird nest in the reel. On weekdays when there are few other boats on the lake we fish until dark and then anchor the boat and freshen up by stripping to bikinis and getting into the water with some soap or body-wash gel. Then we climb back up the little ladder thingie that folds down at the back of the boat. Then the fun begins. We break the law by turning off the light on the back of the boat but we always anchor deep in the back of a narrow cove. That way we can't be seen and only have to look in one direction now and then to avoid having another boat approach. We never make much noise and never turn on the boat's stereo. We make love until we are satisfied then go back to nightfishing for bass, just cuddle and talk, or go back to the ramp where she then backs the trailer in and I drive the beast onto the trailer. Two tired but happy girls! I think the boat is called a Bass Cat Puma and the motor was made by Yamaha. The little fold-down electric motor on the front is a Motorguide. The electronic stuff that reads the bottom, navigates by GPS, and can spot fish are made by Hummingbird, a cute name but I don't understand why that was chosen. The boat will go close to 80 miles an hour on the water but we usually don't go over 55-60 to save gas and we never go fast at night and make sure all lights are on. She too is interested in Asian ladyboys and is really interested in castration. She has a bisexual BF who has been castrated and sees him fairly often. I thought I was the only weird one! |

Ice Fishing
Anyone can go fishing in summer, but it takes a dedicated person to go ice fishing in winter. I don't mean that a person should go out on a lake or river and sit in heated shelter (that is for wimps). Real ice fishing means standing out in the open exposed to the elements and dangling a line through a hole in the ice. It can be quite pleasant as long as one dresses for the weather. Don't take a power auger to make your hole. That is for lazy people. Instead use a hand auger, an ice chisel, or an axe. Your fish will freeze after you pull them out of the water, but they will thaw enough to fillet if you wait for a while after you take them in where it is warm.
For those that are wondering I did spend many days ice fishing every winter without the benefit of any kind of shelter and I did enjoy it. I used an ice chisel to make a hole. My bait was usually bacon rind. Sometimes I used a small piece of meat, but it was worth sacrificing a tenth of an ounce of meat to get a 3 or 4 pound fish. |

I like fishing, but doing it alone is not something I like to do.
Where's a good place to fish in the UK?

Fishing with the Bears
Ila, you lucky bull! You've seen the Grizzly bears in the wild! Tell me more please. I've never seen large bears in their natural habitat. Though there are bears in Amarkantak, where my last trip was. As you already know, I have seen a leopard from 15 feet in the jungle. It was amazingly fast.
Now, lets focus on bears. Is it in one of your fishing trips? I saw this in a TV documentary. A group of filmmakers were fishing for salmon in the same area as the Grizzly... say, 40 feet apart. You know, how salmon behaves? They go back upstream to their breeding grounds and jump in the river water. Bears come to strategic points to catch them. They like the taste of fish, it helps to develop their fat. Now, this angler caught a large fish in his line and the large male bear nearest to him was running around in the river, looking quite frustrated. As soon as the bear saw the fish being hauled out of water, it jumped upon the line and caught it. The bear gnarled at the man and started pulling the fish, still attached to the line. The man pulled and tugged and the bear started off away from the man with the fish. Ultimately, the line snapped and the bear happily ate the fish, it had just robbed from the man. For a bear, an easier prey is always welcome, may it belong to a weaker bear, or a human.

I've also seen black bears in the wild. I've been around too many black bears to be comfortable around them. When fishing it's always a good idea to make sure there are no bears around. They do like fish and not much will stop a bear from going after fish that an angler has caught. I've seen wolves and coyotes in the wild too. Some people consider them dangerous, but give them respect and there's very little if any danger from them. |

I went fishing once, but I'll never do that again. I managed to catch one little fish after almost half a day of trying, and then I felt sooooo sorry for the little thing that I almost started crying. I guess I'm a pussy, lol

A Leopard at night
Allow me to add my two cents of experience. We were travelling by car at night, crossing a 130 km reserve forest. The time was, say, 8pm. At a turn of the road, I saw the form of an thin old man sitting by the roadside. Just the the driver shouted "Oh my god!" and the old man sprang to life. What my eyes mistook as an old man became a leopard... it ran 10 feet in fron of our car and crossed the road in an instant. Everything happened very fast and after a few seconds all of us became excited and started looking for "more encounters" . Well, we just saw a large jackal about 50 yards from the leopard. I guess it wanted to get the leftovers of the leopard's hunt.
Rachel: Why, thats very beautiful! Rachel, you're quite talented!

size matters?
Looks to be about a 40 pound fish. Looks can be decieving though. He is holding the fish out towards the camera. Makes it appear larger then it really is. I always tell people dont show your hands in the picture. If you want to fish for real fish you have to go out in the ocean.

Rachel, if you want to catch some really big freshwater fish you should come to my area of the continent. I'll show you where you can catch 30 lb plus Lake Trout as well as huge Northern Pike and Muskellunge. |

big fish
That sounds like fun. I like to fish where you never know whats going to bite the hook. Maybe something small, maybe something montrous. I'm sure many of you have never heard of a bluefish? THE most aggressive, nastiest, toothiest fish in the ocean. It's a damn good thing they dont get more then 20 to 30 pounds or no one would swim in the ocean. Possesed of very strong jaws with teeth that interlock bottom to top, blues destroy everything in their path and then regurgitate so they can kill some more. I've seen many feeding frenzies where the baitfish jump up onto the beach trying to make a giant leap of evolution just to avoid the bluefish. Only 2 fish the bluefish is afraid of... bluefin tuna and mako sharks nothing else can swim fast enough to catch them

Well I love fishing and hunting also. I am also a scuba diver. When fishing I never cared if I catch a fish or not. Fishing for me is just a relaxing hobby. I get the luxury to live near the sea, so I don't have to plan anything, I know different spots for fishing. Usually I like going alone to relax, but I don't mind going with someone else if they can keep their mouth shut :P.
As for diving, I just go to relax also. I can actually dive to 60 meters under sea level. I never touch anything down there, I just go to enjoy and relax and believe me after you get out of the dive, you are veeeery relaxed. Nothing can make me angry after a dive hehe. |

custom rods
Those diamond wraps take about 8 to 12 hours by themselves one thread at a time. The rest of the rod from building the handles and doing the guide wraps is another 6 to 8 depending on how many guides and blank diameter

For some fish nights are better. Depends on the season though and whether they are migrating. Spring and Fall migrations have yielded some nice catches for me off the beach for stripers and bluefish in the daytime. Also some fish dont feed at night at all. Someone once asked when is the best time to catch a big fluke? (local flounder species). My answer... any time you can wet your line. Although I think he was refering to tides and months giggles, my point was understood that you cant catch em from your couch.
