I’m reading a fishing book by Charles Bing and found a quote that I really like. “If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.” – Doug Larson
Can I get an Amen?
I used to have one hanging up at work that said “If someone tells you that you shouldn’t go fishing, don’t talk to them anymore. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.”
Fishing is like sex….
When it’s Great…. It’s Great….
When it’s bad…..It’s still Great!

My Boat Runs On Gas……Not “Thank You’s” 
“Early to bed. Early to rise. Fish like hell and make up lies”
“Two in the pink one in the. …wait, what kind of quotes?
Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend. Zenna Schaffer
“My wife lets me have as many fishing lures as I can hide!”
Back when I was a younger youngin, I must’ve been globbing the nightcrawlers on my hook good ‘n thick because my explanation was “big bait, big fish!” 😊
“Never got skunked. Ran out of time though”
“If you sit on the couch all day you’re a bum but, if you sit in a boat all day you’re a fisherman”
Teach a kid to fish (or hunt)… and they won’t have money for drugs
“It’s all fun and games ’til someone loses a walleye”
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Don’t teach a man to fish, and you feed yourself.
He’s a grown man, fishing’s not that hard.

You never miss em if you hook em in the a$$hole.
“Two in the pink one in the. …wait, what kind of quotes?
I think he’s talking about pink salmon right?
“Immerse yourself in the outdoor experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person” Fred Bear

“Fishing relaxes me, it’s like yoga, except I still get to kill something” -Ron Swanson
These are a few of my Favorites:
“ Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after,” Henry David Thoreau.
“A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at the office!”
“Those who die with the most days fishing, wins,”
“Work is for people who don’t know how to fish!”
“Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths,”
“The two best times to fish is when it’s rainin’ and when it ain’t,”
“The fishing was so bad, even the liars didn’t get any”
All fishermen lie, except you and me, and I am not that sure about you
I hope that when I die my widow doesn’t sell my fishing gear based on what I TOLD her I paid for it
When fishing is really slow….sometimes they bite like this for hours, then they just quit
My favorite:
“Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not the fish they are after”
Henry David Thoreau
Bass fishing great Jimmy Houston has a clever, hilarious saying, that I think is really good.
He sets it up really well after reeling in a fish, turning to his fishing partner and asking this:
“Do you know what’s the difference between me and God?”
After a moment of silence, Jimmy says:
“God never pretends to be me.”
Then he laughs and laughs.
Priceless.
Fly fishing is the best activity a person can have standing up.
I would rather spend a morning on the lake thinking about God then spend a morning in church thinking about fishing.
I thought it went:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will have to buy a license, fishing rod, tackle, check the reg on the lake he wants to fish, and drink beer all day.

“When he returns from the lake, the truth is no longer with him.”
Sometimes I have to remind my wife fishing sunup to sundown (12 hours) is only a half day of fishing and I said I was going to go fishing for the day.
In regards to fishing/hunting purchases:
1 The price you paid
2 The price you told her you paid
3 The price you pay when she finds out what you really paid!
You never leave fish to find fish.
Fish don’t have hands.
