I am 22, i have been fishing since 8, religously fishing since 13, and now fish whenever its not hunting season.
It wouldnt be called fishing unless you are always catching, best of luck!

I am so old I don't even bother looking at Cabelas ads anymore -- but I still young enough to buy one more fishing license -- maybe today.

I made it to 16!

Re: How Old Are You?
Age seems to tend to make things become boring sometime 's unless you become good at what you do . When you see strong results for your effort that is when you know you have learned . When ya get to tired to learn , well that's old as for the number of years maybe that is so yo know how many candles to put on the birth day cake .
I wouldn't think anyone who loves to fish doesn't get old they just get better at it and some times it just takes a litter bit longer but does it matter no , not really , does a fish stop to think about how old is a fisherman is before it bites ? most likey
not, it's thinking of a tasty treat . Only have to be one percent smarter then the fish to catch him.
As for me I been learning for 67 years and there is always something to learn or see out there in the pond.
I only wish I could remember the first fish I ever caught , but it was such a long time ago ,maybe my dad or uncle or even
my grandpa might know , It must have been fun because I'm still doing it and none of them are around now to ask.

Re: How Old Are You?
I don't remember the first fish I ever caught either. Mom has told me that we were using grocery string, a willow stick pole and a small safty pin with a worm attached. Don't recall what type of fish it was but I'm think it was probably a small fresh water sculpin or crayfish. Oh yes, I'll be 86 in a couple months.greenboater wrote:Age seems to tend to make things become boring sometime 's unless you become good at what you do .

Re: How Old Are You?
I was told that my Dad had me when I was a little rascal sitting in a High chair. He would pull on a string and taught me to set the hook.
That was in 1952!!
I can remember 16 fish trout limit's then they went to a 12 fish limit, Followed by 8 Fish and now it's 5.
The WDFW are always struggling about stocking, So here's my suggestion. Anyone who purchases a license should be able to go the the WDFW and collect the daily limit of fish. Then they can release them in the lake they are fishing. It will sort of promote a release and catch program. If you can catch 5 fish it's a wash. If you only catch 4 you have left and extra fish. If you don't catch any then you have really benefited the stocking program. The WDFW would not be out a fuel costs to get the lakes stocked. This would be a plus for all parties!!!
