I fish for Bass to have fun fishing and a challenge trying different techniques and pull a 5lbs fish out of the thickest stuff in the lake with 15 lbs of weeds wrapped around the line and fish.
I fish for Walleye’s when I want something tasty to dine on with the FW and need something easy to catch.
I catch Sheephead’s only by mistake or if I want fertilizer for the garden, they grow great tomato’s. Same goes for Carp.
I fish for CAT’s when I want something, Big, Dumb and Stubborn.
I fish for Pike & Muskie’s when I want to get all SLIMY smelling to keep the women away and see if I can donate high priced bass baits to the lake.
I fish for Crappies and Sunny’s when I have the grand-kids over and when it’s not bass season.
I fish for trout if I want to try snagging a precious hand-tied fly in a high tree or on a power line, or if I want a tasty fish meal besides Walleye.
just my two:cents
