Do yall ever get the line, "fishing is just taking a pole and throwing some string in water with a hook and waiting for a fish to swim by." I really don't know what to say to it but that those pros found a real easy way to make money.

Way too much.

well, preston, my man, after you've been on the circuit a few years, come back & give us your thoughts then.  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I guess in a way its true.

basketball is just putting a ball in a hoop

golf is putting a ball in a hole

hockey is putting a puck in a big net

etc.

All sounds simple doesnt it.

The one I get mostly is your tired how can you be tired all you were doing for the last 8 hrs is fishing

Most people stumble through life working at a job they do not enjoy or even hate. Going through life working at something you enjoy makes one blessed in my book. It doesn't mean it's easy as the Lord knows making a living fishing in not easy but waking up each morning looking forward to the day counts for a lot. My hat is off to those who choose the life of a professional angler. I understand the commitment it takes and the sacrifices they must make.

Aren't you glad those people don't get it -- otherwise they would be out there cluttering up the lakes and streams --

Exactly. There's already too many boats on the water. No need for any more.

"Weeee! Look at me!!! I have no business being on the water!!! I just enjoy being the most annoying person in the entire world!!! Weeeeee!!!"
