    Whenever some city dweller says they like to go fishing, I immediately think “He’s a right winger AND uses fishing as an excuse to cheat on his wife” - this seems to be the case often down here in Brazil

      Oh, so you’re one of the GOOD ones who enjoy torturing and killing animals with your bare hands. I imagine that is a vanishingly small minority, eh??? EH???

      I liked fishing as a child, but we only did it when we visited our Montanan relatives. I managed to catch a fish! Then squeal cause it was dead and gave it to our older second cousin twice removed.

        Fishing got ruined for me when I was 4. We were fishing at Bullfrog Pond and they’d just stocked it with bluegills. We didn’t even have to bait our hooks, 15 seconds in the water and you’d have a bite. My dad was expecting to teach me some weird lesson about patience, but nature and the forestry department said Fuck That.
