Ehh...explosion? Sorry, but a 2 pound large mouth doesn't really explode when they strike. Hooking into a 50 pound yellowfin , that you fight for 45 minutes 60 miles off the gulf coast is entertainment. I remember when my college roommate and I were fishing the oil rigs off the coast and the kings were going crazy. In fact all the fish were going insane. While we were both setting up our rigs this pissed off 12 foot hammerhead comes to the surface and is just thrashing through some bait fish. It freaked us out because we were only in his 16 foot skiff and I could have reached out and grabbed his dorsal. It is awesome to see what most will only experience on the Discovery channel.
I love this debate topic.

I love this debate topic. That all pales in comparison to my time on the Pequod. They called me Ishmael and my Captains name was Ahab, he was kind of a jerk. Anyway we were out harpooning whales one day when we found the legendary white whale. My Captain hurled his harpoon and it stuck in the whales flesh. It was a struggle to the death, in fact I still remember his last words before being dragged down to the briney deep, he said,". . . to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee." Well that was about it he pretty much didn't have anything to say after that considering he was drowning. Since he was dead we decided to call it a day.

They should write a book about it.

My son and I fish regularly. We went to a small pond on Thursday after he got out of school. With him being so young, I always let him reel in my catches. This time he got two large mouth bass and a bluegill. He really wanted to keep a fish so I let him bring home one large mouth, it was a tiny thing anyways. So there you have it, I have a large mouth bass swimming around with my African Cichlids. It's amazing, they don't really fight! That darn fish better start eating fish food though, I'm running out of worms!

That darn fish better start eating fish food though, I'm running out of worms! That is a great story, bowl. I bought one of those small fishing rigs for my granddaughter, including a little Barbie tackle box. We went down to the river and on her first or second cast, she caught one. It was hard for her to maintain enough control to reel it in, but she did. Talk about an excited little girl!! LOL It was a small Small-mouth. We carefully took it off the hook, let it go, and watched it swim away. She yelled after the fish, "Thank you! Grow bigger and I'll catch you later." I about fell down laughing.
What a great afternoon that was. We've been fishing many times since then. Now she is 7 years old and a very accurate caster. I put a weight on her line when we're not fishing, and she practices constantly.

I was out smoking a cigarette at lunch with a couple of co-workers. I work at a power plant that is located on Lake Erie. We were looking down into the water and saw a bunch of 50-60 lb. carp swimming around. They're no good to eat, but it was cool watching big fish swim around. We were about to go in and low and behold a 3 ft. long Gar swam up to the surface. The Gar is an unique fish and I'm glad I got to see it today.

Believe it or not Latvians smoke carp and eat it. I know this because my grandparents and father are from Latvia. Anyway every year we used to go spear fishing at night for these disgusting fish. My grandparents also used to eat smoked eel, that was really disgusting.
