not related to fishing or that thing you do with your spouse. for me its watching a big running pointer or German Shorthair lock up on a point.
nope ... with me fishing is in a league all by itself ..... i live fishing 24/7
Absolutely but I don't think Glenn wants me to put up any pics of it,lol.
In all seriousness, I LOVE my music and I LOVE to cook for and entertain, special guests.
Deer hunting, not just sitting in a stand but I love to still hunt. I don't shoot untill I sneak within 20 yards.
Elk Hunting for me, if I could do it 365 days a year i would never fish again. :o

Oooooh,....the fish gods didn't like THAT one,lol >.....I'd wear your pfd next time out....... ;D
Deer hunting.
OH YEA!!!!!!! Time with Elaine,Family and friends absolutley the most important thing in my life ( including cooking for them), followed by Music, the NY Met's then Fishing comes up in the rear! 8-)
Fishing is probably number one but I still love shooting sporting clays. I don't get out as much as I used to but with fishing winding down I will get out more in this fall. I also like to hunt turkeys and waterfowl.
Fishing is #1 for me.
Playing other sports is a semi-close second.
family, friends, and drinking,
rock climbing, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling, hiking, cooking, baking and eating.
CATCHING!
No really,the one thing I have found to enjoy above all is a going out to eat a with my wife and kids.It's never a bad outing.
I have 4 sons, 2 daughters, 2 son-in-laws, 2 daughter-in-laws, 3 grandsons, & a granddaughter; I love when they are all home together and I love to cook for them. Throw in some uncles/aunts, their families, and you have a real Cajun fais do-do
Lacrosse and football but fishing is #1
As much as I enjoy fishing, I still enjoy gardening, playing guitar, reading, model collecting, photography and still write high level business logic software now & again, depending on the project.
i love to golf...but once the fishing and golf is out of the way, spending time with a sweet, southern girl, honeydew blonde. it just doesn't get any better than that. good fishing to all.
I would have to say rock climbing, but living where I live, i really have no oppurtunity to do so. I love kayaking too. But all in all cooking for friends and family is top notch.
football! I've been playing since I was 6 and will play for school next year I would have this year but missed tryouts. I've always played Middle Linebacker. I love deer hunting too.
family and friends of course....but with them aside ;D...fishing is #1...and i like PC video games as well
Drag Racing! Either going to a NHRA event to see the Nitro classes, or Outlaw 10.5 in the Sportsman ranks.
Sleeping in.
Period.
Fishing is #1 with me. Always has been, always will be.
Camping with a tent roughing it BUT i always seem to camp where i can fish or vice versa .So fishing ,camping ,hanging out with friends/family,Hiking,Road trips.No matter what,where or when i always have a fishing rod within 5 foot of me
At the moment its HALO 3 !
But i also play in a band that takes up a lot of time: http://www. myspace .com/fuzzpipe (thats a myspace link but i guess we cant post those?)
And I also train primarily in Jiu Jitsu with a little MMA
Interpreting this as a hobbies question fishing is number 1 on the list. There's nothing I do that I enjoy more than fishing.
Of course number 1 overall is spending time with family and friends, cooking and entertaining.
Yes I have another hobby/passion...........................
Like it better than fishing?? Just depends on what I have planned. I do get the same excitement out of preparing the bike and planning for a long MC trip that I do for a big fishing event. My 15 year old daughter loves to do both with me. LIFE IS GOOOD!!!

I like to chase little white orbs around pastures with a flat stick every now and then (golf).... drop into a back bowl with some buddies for some untracked freshies (snowboarding).... waking up to crisp, cool morning in the woods and throwing another hunk of oak in the firepit (camping).... yeah, I like outside.

How could you put the METS over fishing. Even fishing without a hook would be better than the the METS...lol
When I was single I used to play a lot of golf, bowled 3 nights a week, road motorcycles, and fished.
Now I've got a wife and 4 happy, healthy daughters.
I haven't played a round of golf since last year. I sold my motorcycle 10 years ago and I only bowl once a week (9pm league, the little ones are in bed). BUT I'm fishing as much as I ever have! I wouldn't change a thing.
Golf and BBQ'ing
Working with wood, as in building furnituremostly, but not entirely, with hand tools.
Sitting on a summer night at Fenway Park, Section 24, Row 2, Seats 1 & 2 (my season tickets for the past 21 years, and my summer home away from home).

Hey Norm did you get any souviners from old Fenway?

Oh, sorry bout this weekend.
YOU'RE SORRY!!!!!!!!!GGEEZZ!!!!!!!!
Fishing is number one, but I also love Texas Hold'Em (I live close to Foxwood's), golf, skiing, and mindlessly watching TV for hours while I play internet poker.
QuoteHey Norm did you get any souviners from old Fenway?
Only memories. There were no souvenirs to be had. Old Fenway is new Fenway. They've just been adding seats in interesting locations. I hope Fenway outlives me. I'd hate to see it ever torn down.
Cooking and gardening...Seriously...
Not just BBQ, my specialties are sauces and soups.
Gardening? Yes, my wife and I have an extensive garden that is in full bloom and different bloom most of the year, including the winter! Each season has it's own color scheme, height and texture. Our plantings are for the most part, perrinial, which allows us to add variety over the years by building on the flowers we enjoy the most. Our trees and shrubs compliment our gardens and are have been individually selected. Even my grass varieties were choosen for "special" color and texture.

I thought I read somewhere they sold or autioned off old seats as they reconfigured the stands? Anyway when Shea gets knocked down ( Ebeets Field II, there new home is half built) I am hoping to get a couple of seats for my back yard. Now I know the sadness my Dad felt when they knocked down Ebetts Field.
you know, a little with some and some and last but not least a lil bit of
Playing live in front of people with the band is one of my favorite. Cycling is still my numer one thing. Nothing clears the mind like a couple hour ride thru the country.
Fishing with my kids if rapidly rising to the top of my list !!!!
QuotePlaying live in front of people with the band is one of my favorite. Cycling is still my numer one thing. Nothing clears the mind like a couple hour ride thru the country.
Man, I thought I was the only bass fisherman that also liked to ride. My rejection of all things Shimano extends to my cycling. Campagnolo rules.
My favorite past time is removing air conditioners from the roofs of businesses in the middle of the night, and then selling the copper for a big profit.
Seriously, I love playing guitar and listening to music as much or more than fishing. Obviously, time with family and friends has to be placed above fishing as well.
Beach Volleyball, Basketball, cooking or grilling, and I love to do landscaping.
But probably my favorite thing to do besides fishing and is actually #1 is to serve my Lord Jesus Christ. I help out our youth pastor with a lot of activities in the Youth Group and serve in other areas of our church. Went down last summer to Lake Charles, LA for Convoy of Hope. Love the area down there and I really loved the welcoming of the Louisiana people for myself who is a New Yorker. Really felt the hurt and pain that Rita put on you guys down there. Went down to what is left of Cameron and just shed some tears. Anyway those are the things that I really enjoy.
Wow, I'm surprised at alot of these reponses! Good thread!
Fishing has always been hands-down #1 for me since I was 2 years old. Nothing else is even REMOTELY close!
Time spent with my beautiful wife and the wonderful family she gave me is number one. After that, it's fishing. Teaching the grandkids to fish has been a hoot the past few years.
Going to the casino with my wife once a week is alot of fun too. We've had a very profitable year so that makes it even more fun.

Throughout the years, I have been into a few hobbies but the one that always brings me back is fishing. I would have to say that cars are a close second.

Fishing is number 1 on my list. When I'm not fishing I'm a devoted New York Yankee baseball fan. I've enjoyed for years computer gaming both on and off line.
