I also caught a 5 lb. bass (on a black chugger) from the bank out of one of the stock ponds in the pasture where we kept our horses when my kids were younger.....I didn't have to spend thousands of dollars for a boat, ..I bought a used boat in very good condition and enjoyed it very, very much. When I decided to sell it, I sold it for more than I bought it for....Where do you get that "most" people take their boats our 2 or 3 times a year???....I guess it's all in what you like to do as a hobby or sport, if you have one, or how you like to spend your recreational time.....I know that I have spent a lot of money on golf...green fees, travel, balls, clubs, gloves, shoes,etc....but, I enjoy golf, very much...as I enjoy fishing.
I enjoy fishing just don't enjoy boats all that much and I like golf also.

well, it's certainly true that we overgrown boys sure do enjoy and spend a lot on our toys. i've got a fortune invested in my skeet guns, reloading equipment and supplies.....and that doesn't even take into account what i've spent for those damn clay pigeons that you can't even take home and cook!.....mac

well, NO, guess I have to hang with 2C on this one. the money i've spent on skeet, hunting, boating and fishing had nothing to do with investment or even needs....mac
