Whats the point if nobody lets me eat what I catch.
Actually, that is only catch and release tourney's and freshwater fishing, mostly public ponds. In Southern Louisiana where I live, mostly everyone owns their own boat and they have boat launches spread all around the coast of the Gulf. You can just go out there as you please. You will need a fishing license, but for residents, it is like $15 a year. You have limits, but like redfish, trout, flounder, any of that you can actually shove it in your ice chest on the boat and take it home and eat it.
Lol fishing isn't boring. I go like 4 days a week during the summer. Mornings my dad and I catch as many as 20 bass. I caught 4 foot long pike over the summer. Now that was fun.
And it's also not too bad having a 12 pack coors light while you're doing it too.
You caught a 4 foot long pike? This winter, I caught a 45lb Bull Red
