I found this quote on Fish Chris's website awhile back.

WoolleyBass reply :
"Bass fishermen watch Monday night football, drink beer, drive pickup trucks and prefer noisy women with big breasts. Trout fishermen watch MacNeil-Lehrer, drink white wine, drive foreign cars with passenger-side air bags and hardly think about women at all. This last characteristic may have something to do with the fact that trout fishermen spend most of the time immersed up to the thighs in ice-cold water." ~Author Unknown

I pray that I may live to fish.......
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep. -Unknown

Dave P reply :
OK, one more:
"I fish because I love to.
Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful, and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly. Because of all the television commercials, cocktail parties, and assorted social posturing I thus escape.
Because in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing what they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion.
Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed, or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility, and endless patience.
Because I suspect that men are going this way for the last time and I for one don't want to waste the trip.
Because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters. Because in the woods I can find solitude without loneliness. ... And finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun."
Robert Traver

BigMouthBasstard reply :
The fishing was awesome, the catching was not so good.
From my favorite show; family guy when peter buys a fishing boat and sets up a stand at the seafood market-
Hennisy, a competitor of Peter, grabs one of Peter's fish from his stand and throws it, Peter runs to get it back and while he is up, Hennisy puts a sign that reads "I had sex with all these fish" over the sign that read "Peter's fish." Peter comes back, and a man approaches his stand.
Man: Wow. So how do you do it?
Peter: Well, how nice of you to ask. First, I put the ol' worm out there, and they go at it, so naturally they struggle a bit, so I jerk em around and then they just lay back and accept it.

Fishes in trees reply :
Nearly every time I go fishing, the Buck Perry quote comes to mind, "The fish are deep, or shallow, or somewhere in between." I've read his spoonplugging book several times and I still can't figure out if he was being profound or facetious.
He be dead so I'll never know.
