If you have more fun not catching than you do catching, I'd say give up
fishing!

You would be wrong to think that. I love fishing, don't really care if
I catch anything.. Ask Tom, drives him and lots of others crazy...

I don't care whether I catch fish or not. It's getting out on the water
on a nice day that I enjoy. Plus, if the catch is light, it takes less
time to wash out the boat.

Whoa!!!! You stated previously that the only reason you boat is to get
to the fish, Harry!

From wiki:
Harry,
If it wasn't for Google, you wouldn't know anything at all.

Reggie,
If Harry were not here you would not have anything to post to this NG
anymore. Every post of yours today was in response to something he
said or had his name in it. Your intentions here are obvious. You
really do not to get a life.

you have never meet a person you didn't think was an asshole.




Naw, only you Reggie. Add Booger to the list also. The 2 of you deserve
each other, the anonymous aholes that you both are.


Actually, a**hole would be a compliment for Reggie. Agreed, if coming from
Harry.

Heck, you prefer not to even take out the boat, and then you don't have
to do anything at all. 20 hrs a year.... grin.
There you go again.
I know you prefer to call people names (asshole etc), I prefer to let them
make themselves look foolish. The only problem is you and Harry make it
way too easy.
There you go again.

Asked my Dad yesterday, and he said he's only seen a couple in all his
Florida fishing years, and never caught one, though he never went
after them either. Agree that the bigger fish aren't as good-tasting,
so I just might not go after them unless I release.
My dad's favorite eating fish is the sand perch. He can still stand
there for an hour filleting them to get a couple pounds of meat, and
he can hardly stand. They do taste good.

I love 'perch fingers'. Fillet's about the size of a half dollar, a
quarter
inch thick, breaded, deep fried. Takes about a hundred, but damn they're
good.

Speckled trout - pan fried in a corn meal batter.

MMMMMMM.......

Blackened Snook, followed closely by blackened Redfish.

Good point.

Out with a friend last year who runs a commercial party boat. Another guy
was catching a lot better than I was so gave me one of his jigs. Did not
notice the little clear tube and missed a few bites. So they had a good
laugh at my expense, and dang, if Tom the captain does not do the same thing
about an hour later.

If he didn't want to catch a fish, why give him a rod at all? Seems to me
you'd be safer and catch more fish if he just sat there and enjoyed
himself!

But I like fishing...

But you have no desire to catch anything...so how about a rod with no line?

But then I would not catch any fish, and I like that too..

We have a white and black panfish (freshwater crappie) out here we
call calico bass, they can get a pound or better record is like 2 I
think. Anyway, in the fall they are just great panfried. Beautiful
flaky, just like good flounder..
