) as well. I live right on the Ohio river so I grew up river fishing which I love to do . I hate catching garr though . Anyone catch those bastards ???? Erie is great fun for some walleye and muskee . I've been marlin fishing s few times now and I'm going this summer in Florida and I'm real excited about it and let me tell you If you like a challenge and a work out then ocean fishing you must do. Wow its not easy to pull any huge ocean fish in . I had a blast ocean fishing . I dont care where im fishing at or even if I catch anything or not , its my favorite thing in the world to do and the most serene thing to do . I'll be excited to read peoples posts here and what they caught !!!!! Anyone know if there is a hunting thread too ? That's my second favorite past time

Walleye put up such a good fight, almost as good a fight as carp. Walleye is meaty and great smoked, but also good fried. I have never caught a Gar but saw one floating once in the Mississippi River when I was fishing off a grain barge years ago. I fished the Smokey Mtns once and had a stringer of trout, but got the crap scared out of me when I pulled up the stringer to move and saw the weirdest ugliest thing sucking on the last trout on the stringer. My friends in TN called it a mudpuppy. I was getting up so quickly, I slipped on a couple rocks and wound up in the cold stream. Everyone laughed, but me. Like you, I don't care where I fish as long as I can when I want to. I used to go sit at a spot by the DesPlaines River in IL. It had a little dam and I could fish it above or below. At the time nothing worth eating came from there, but the calmness that came over me as I sat and waited for a bite was wonderful. It made a stressful work day better. No one to talk back to me by the river except nature.
