Gary mostly fishes for catfish, where you just bait your hook and drop it in the water and wait - just like you said. Last week, he and 2 other guys caught 75 catfish. They could have caught more but 25 per person is the limit (they actually did catch more but had to release the ones too small to keep). He used to bass fish, but that requires standing and casting over and over and over and he just can't do that anymore. He sometimes fishes at the coast - but again, that type of fishing is more taxing and he just doesn't feel like doing that very often.

If you were in Texas, he'd take you fishing anytime you were ready to go!!!

That's what we always fished for at night, catfish. I would be up late into the night fishing and staying up till early morning cleaning the darn things too, but boy are they good eat'n!! I like fishing for bass, but like doing that with my waders walking a creek. I love crappy fishing. I just love fishing period. I did get to go deep sea fishing once. It was fun, but there was no skill to it. Just put the bait on the hooks and drop it down. Wait a little while and bring up the Red Snapper. They don't even really tug at the line. I like that thrill of knowing there's something there...LOL.

The first time my son saw my tackle box, he thought I had bought out a store...LOLOL.
