I fish for fun a lot... I am wanting to get into a club and fish tournaments though.  Just to see what its really like.

I fish for fun too but I think most of us are fooling ourselves because its probably more of an addiction with fun involved. I would like to go as a ride along with someone on a fishing tournament sometime just to see how things are done because I have never been to one.

I fish 25+ tourneys last year mostly local but these "local" tourneys draw 60-80 boats with payouts up to 5K.  I don't know exactly how many days I was on the water last year but it was over 150.  I'm keeping track of it this year.  Since my whole family loves to fish, unless I am working or at a kid ballgame, I'm on the water.

Fish for fun, a lot - as much as I can.  Would be fun to do tourneys, I think, but afraid it might take the fun out of it at some point.

Fish for fun.  Usually 3 weekends a month and several 4-5 day trips over the summer.

I quit tournament fishing quite some time ago but everytime I hit the water it is like a tournament.  I can't sleep the night before and it takes me at least 30 min. to get over the jitters when I get to a fishing spot.

Every trip is competition even if I am the only one in the boat.  I have never fished for relaxation.  That is for when I get home and get all the equipment put away. :)

I fish for fun.....ALOT!

I try to get out and fish twice a week. I love it and is the best way for me to wind down after a rough day/week at work. I know y'all know what I mean.  

Me and my buddy try to do some tourneys as well, but thats maybe 5-6 a year.

i fish for fun alot. cannot stand tournament fishing. just my opinion and i guarentee lots of people will disagree but i think that tournament fishing takes the fun out of things. youre under so much pressure to catch the biggest for money. i dont think thats right. i think fishing should be a relaxing fun hobby, which is why if you ask me who's my favorite fisherman i would say something like bill dance or hank parker, because they arent in the tournament trail, they just fish for leisure. but hey thats just me, to each his own.

I fish strictly for "enjoyment", but NOT to relax.

I take my fishing much too seriously to even think about relaxing.

Plenty of time for that after day is done :)

I marked fishing is my living but its bait selling, not the actual fishing. I to fish for fun but my fun is in results and I am extremly competetive. Ints not tournaments but its similar. We know who is sticking big fish and cool to be the hot stick. Of course where I live I am fishing against world class trophy hunters so Its prety rare that I am up there with them.

good poll dude.

I expected the fun guys to be #1, but i really thought there were more tournament guys......Can't say I mind the way it is at all.

Maybe you can run the poll again in a few months, but add something about guiding.

thanks for the poll.

Guide service would be making a living Bass fishing. I guess I didn't think about part time guides though.
