Question of the Day - Thursday, August 14th, 2025

Nothing, I might catch something! Then I would have to kill, clean, cook and eat it. :sick I'd like to just walk around a lake, or up a river, casting and reeling and enjoying nature, and nobody would stop me and ask, What are you doing? Because obviously I'd be fishing but darn it, I just can't seem to get a bite or even a nibble for some strange reason ...
Not necessarily. We released all the fish we caught. Which was only like one or two but still. LOL

Could, I guess. Was not taught catch and release. Anyway I don't want fish slime on my hands. Don't like fishy smell. It's all moot now anyway with this knee. ☹️ But that's what I would like to do. I like "to fish," I just don't want "to catch fish," lol. So I'm a weirdo, it's okay.

Thing about catch and release is the stress of being caught sometimes kills them anyways, big reason why I won't do catch and release, if the fish is going to die I want to at least put it to good use rather than just having it go to waste

And to be clear I don't judge anyone who does catch and release, I just won't do it personally
 
Depends on where I'm fishing and what I'm fishing for. Sometimes I'd start with artificial lures to catch pike and bass, etc., but if nothing is interested I'd switch to worms just so I'd catch something (easy fish like bluegill, crappie, etc.).

I don't fish anymore mainly because it often results in injuries (sometimes fatal) to the fish. Making a fish suffer just to throw it back in the water didn't sit well with me. I might fish for food, but I'm not a big fan of the taste of fish or seafood...
