Super User Oregon Native Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Curious how many if given the chance (weather permitting this time of year) would go fishing instead of watching the game. I guess you could record game and hope no-one would tell you the outcome so you could go home afterwards and watch the recording. Personally I'm a Hawks fan and have been for years and would love to watch the game but given the chance would have to go fishing and then watch recording. I've had to many days these last six months in a chair or on a couch...besides I love the floor show in the great outdoors just a tad better. (not to mention the fact fishings been great around here lately too. Tight Lines P.S. Although if the wife let me go Sat and Mon I could be talked into staying home during the day! Quote
Super User MCS Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Fishing! Unless my team was in the superbowl then again I think I would pick fishing. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Maybe some ice fishng in the morning/afternoon before the game, but by the time the game comes on it will be after dark here, and I'll be off the ice. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 No question about that for me:I would go fishing! There is no broadcast sporting event that would keep me from fishing this time of year. I might record the event if a team or player l like was involved, but fishing would get the call every time.

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Superbowl. It only comes once a year and usually it's an event to watch with friends and family. 2 Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Fishing. You can't DVR fish... 1 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 seeing as tho the game is on at 630, it's dark for 2 hours at that point around here, so both. 1 Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Superbowl. It only comes once a year and usually it's an event to watch with friends and family. ^Exactly^..........A one time a year event compared to something I do every day, no contest. Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 I don´t have a "favorite" team, I´m not a "fan" of any team in particular I liked the Oilers when Campbell played for them, I liked the Steelers when Harris, Swann, Stalworth, Blair and Bradshaw played, the era of the Steel Curtain ( and the "Immaculate Reception" ), I liked the Raiders, nowdays I don´t care much. However, it´s not because of the teams that play, it has become a tradition for me and my compadre to share a BBQ with the family, have a few beers and watch the game, so, between fishing and watching the Super Bowl it´s watching the SB, in practical terms I can go fishing any time.

Super User Darren. Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Superbowl. It only comes once a year and usually it's an event to watch with friends and family. Same here. We always host a SB party at our house for family and a few friends. Besides, can't fish my waters after sundown, so there's only one choice for me. 1 Quote
Jmrichardson2011 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Fishing if I had a nighttime boat. Waters are dark and cold at 630 this time of year here, but nothing I haven't braved before. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 No contest at all. I would go fishing. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 I have never missed a Super Bowl. Around my house this game ranks above Christmas and the Fourth of July, regardless of who's playing. Bronco years are extra special! 1 Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Superbowl at the office. Tax season! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Pull a heavy laden sled a mile or two, set up the shelter, drill a hole in the ice, or stay home, build a fire, and watch the game. Choice is simple. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Since I'm not fishing this time of year, I'll watch the game, maybe. If I was somewhere with decent fishing, I'd be fishing. At 72, the clock is ticking. For me, participation is better than observation. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 SuperBowl without a doubt. I haven't missed on that i can remember and I don't plan to. I usually don't have a party but i end up cooking up a ton of food for some reason. Speaking of which, i need to start thinking about the menu Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Neither! Super Bowl is on a sunday, me, my family & friends will be in church. Even when the Saints played I only saw the 2nd half. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 seeing as tho the game is on at 630, it's dark for 2 hours at that point around here, so both. x2 - That's a no brainer for me if I had the choice. Since I don't do the ice fishing thingy I can only dream of fishing and then watch the superbowl to keep me from my Fishing Blues. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2014 Super User Posted January 23, 2014 Neither! Super Bowl is on a sunday, me, my family & friends will be in church. Even when the Saints played I only saw the 2nd half. I'm Catholic, and I thought our mass was long. Kickoff isn't until after 6:30 PM EST. 2 Quote
