A little PM exchange I was having with Joel prompted me to start this thread.  Feel free to add your thoughts on "How Fishing Is Like Dating".

I'll start the ball rollin ... :smt043

* Dating is like fishing, only you're using a different bait.
* When you feel a nibble, set the hook ... hard!
* If you miss the bite, put your bait back out and try again.

Come on guys.  Give me your best stuff.  I'm going to write a book on this.  Then I'm going to followup up with the sequel "How To Fish And Date at the Same Time", with special chapters on WAF and GAF.  And part 3 of the trilogy will be "Why Fishing Is Better Than Dating".

fishing is NOT like dating because

* "catching a hog" is not a good thing(unless you are into that)
* you can't net them, gaff them, or club them over the head
* stringers are not sex toys

When you're dating it's catch and release.  When you're married, it's catch and keep.  Once you reach your limit, your done.  Practice catch and release.

Fishing is like dating..............
..........because when a little attention is shown to your bait you feel complimented and will continue to provide more bait even after the interest has cooled.......... :smt017

Fishing is like dating...

Since I got married, I don't seem to spend as much time on either.

New species and perfect specimens are always exciting. :smt003

If you don't use protection you can get burned. :smt011
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

With fishing, you want the largest legal fish.  With dating you want the smallest legal one!   :smt003
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early.

Fishing is like dating because size doesn't matter :smt058 Not

Fishing is like dating because there is a lot of streaching the truth. :jawdrop
