Fishing is a very sensuous thing

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - The fish's long shadow slid under the ice, causing Darren Horness to blink. "I was skimming some ice off the hole, and all the sudden I thought I caught a little bit of movement, and I had to kind of take a step back," said Horness, 36, of Howards Grove. "The fish was actually coming up into the hole, I just could see part of it and could tell it was a kind of a nice fish, but I had no idea how big it really was."

This may be hard to believe but I am not much of a manly dude when it comes to red neck activities like fixing cars on my lawn, shooting potentially dangerous squirrels, and catching slimy vagina tasting creatures from our waters depths. So I may not be the right person to comment on this story; but I find it very odd that someone would willingly walk onto a frozen lake to cut a hole in it, all for the purpose of staring at said hole for hours, waiting for that exhilarating moment when your bobber bobs...and then the battle begins! Man versus beast in a winner takes all show down. You with your $300 rod, $100 reel, and $80 tackle box against the fish with his fins; who is going to win? Sure the fish is, at most, half your size and has a brain the size of a pea, but at any moment he could pull you under the water and go Jackie Chan on your ass with his 3 inch fins. In my book you are all heroes as someone has to provide little old Japanese men with food.

Is it normal to describe your struggle with the fish in such a sexual way, and then take pornographic pictures with it like Mr. Grove?

Hey,
You're right you shouldn't be the commenting on this story. I agree with you in respect to sittin g on a frozen lake shivering your ass off in hopes of catching the "BIG ONE", however, to most men the sport of fishing can be a challenge. If all you're going to do is throw a bobber, then sit and wait for something to happen you're doing what we fisherman refer to as "Nigger Fish'n". No self respecting white fisherman would fish like that. (that's kind of like sitting at a bar expecting some hottie to pick you up. No, we would rather outsmart,entice and fool a fish to bite.(much like taking an active role in picking up on a woman). Can it be dangerous? Absolutely. Take a look at the guy, while fishing for Marlin who was impaled, IN THE FACE by the Marlin's sword-like bill. I could go on but I'm headed out to go fishing. "FISH ON"

Hey Nancy,

that's right.....Nancy, as in: you're such a 'nancy'....Dude, cmon......you describe fishing as a 'an effort to catch 'a vagina tasting slimy creature'???...what are you thinking? Fishing takes patience, focus, and you need to be able to deal with nature's worst at times.....Don't be such a pussy....and don't comment on things that you obviously know very little about.
