If i had caught a single fish...! I would have clicked few pics and posted with some images to substantiate my claims :p .. !

Well, you know what they say: a bad day of fishing still beats a good day at work.

Nah, fishing is not for me. It is plain boring in my opinion. You just sit and wait... and sit... and wait for fish to catch bait. It is pure random also. There is no skill involved. You may catch big, fat, fish or little fish it depends on your luck and nothing more...

No skill? LOL! You have no clue what you are talking about. It takes a lot of skill and practice to learn how to catch the elusive fish.

It depends on so many factors.  The time of day, the type of bait you use, how you move the bait, the depth you fish at, etc.

...what brand of beer the fish drink,...

I really like fishing. It is a very calming sport. I use to take my kids all the time but they are now grown and very busy with their life's so now I take my grand kids.

I was about to say I'm so sorry for your luck but then saw you caught two fish and now I get to say NICE!
How did they taste?

Been fishing for 43 years now... Lakes, rivers, oceans... in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian & Arctic Oceans... South China, Mediterranean Seas... Persian, Mexican, and Baja Gulfs.

BEST fish was a 50 pound Yellowfin Tuna off San Diego..
This is so ironic but I literally came to this sub today for the first time because I'm getting excited to cooking trout in two weeks (thats when fishing season opens in NJ) and this was the first post I see. Nice fish by the way, especially that second one. What'd you use as bait?
I usually give a live sardines and anchovies to hook the  tuna. Or an artificial bait. I've caught more tuna on sardines than any other bait.

I caught two Fluke Fish!!!!

I don't like the sun burning down on me while i stand in one spot, but I went fishing once and was out all day and caught nothing. Everyone else caught small fish but nothing would take my bait. I was 10 and never went fishing again.

Fishing is so much fun. One of my greatest memories as a kid was from fishing with my Uncle and Grandfather camping. They grew up in the bush and knew where all the lakes were that only a few people knew about.  There is nothing like camping in the middle of the wilderness where only a few have ever been. Caught the limit for Rainbow Trout all three days we were there. Learned a great deal that weekend, some lessons still stick to this day.

I have a lot of great memories fishing with my Dad and Grandad but it used to bore me pretty quickly especially if we wern't catching anything.

Time is on our side, yes it is!
fishing is good fun indeed.  My first time was great I caught like 5 fish and just wanted to do it forever.  I wish I had a boat and could go out in the ocean and fish all day long in the summer.  Glad you had fun.

No skill? You should read this first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_techniques
Obviously you will catch fish with almost no skill (eventually).  Cheesy

I have a lot fishing experience but I must say it is really boring for me Smiley

I was forced so many times to go fishin with my father, and after few years I decided to never go fishing again Smiley

It is totally boring for me and I must say I haven't got a hand for this sport.. Fishes feels that I am waiting for them and I caught maybe 5 fishes in my history Smiley

I understand that there is fishing and there is fishing Smiley
Maybe when I will have a chance to go for mackerel in Ireland   then I will do it again Smiley

I remember being a kid, and going fishing for the first time.  I caught a small fish, and after being excited, I was told to "throw it back".  Me, being a child, and not knowing not to take it literally, I heaved it into the water. 

The fish did not survive.  Went from excitement, to sadness, in 2.3 seconds. 

Lesson learned.
