Before you are "allowed" to pay $150 for your fishing license you have to take an exam. If you don't pass, no license. They only have these exams in spring (3 times) and if you don't pass, no fishing for you till next year!  

T-rig is 100% CORRECT, I also lived in Germany, the fishing laws are very harsh compared to the states, but they do have world record size pike, trout, and carp.

One word...GEEEEEEZ!

Might have to start making some plans to visit Europe.

Here are couple more from a while back.

Mepps #3 will get em every time!  

This is the only decent bass I have caught in the past month. Fishing is very difficult at the moment!

I hope the fall bite starts soon or I will go crazy..... ;D

T-rig, you consistently catch some of the nicest bass I've seen.  

Do you have smallmouth bass in your favorite lakes?

Unfortunately we dont have smallies. The lake I fish would be perfect for them but they will never be released since the are considered an invasive species. I thought about getting some smallies myself and stocking the lake but there are none in europe. Send me some! ;D ;D
