Super User cart7t Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 I used to be into photography. I'm clueless though on the digital aspect. I much more enjoyed working with different film types and how they could be manipulated. Golf. You wind up getting good to a point until you need to spend $$ on lessons. Frustrating game where success is almost completely dependent on swing mechanics. Auto racing, specifically Indy car racing. The CART/IRL split in 1996 pretty much took the wind out of my sales for that one. I watch some races now and still order my tickets to the Indy 500 but I'm not the passionate fan I once was. Bar B queing/Smoking meat. I'm just getting into this. Looks like fun with tasty rewards. All in all I've been hooked by bass fishing since I was probably 10 years old. That's 41 years and the desire and thrill of catching a LMB is the same now as it was way back then. Quote
wavewalker Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 heart of a lion . over 55 years of fishing . did a lot of things.still try out things . still night fish . Quote
tnhiker44 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I used to be into photography. I'm clueless though on the digital aspect. I much more enjoyed working with different film types and how they could be manipulated. I got into photography during the digital age, so it is film that is Greek to me. I like digital due to the manipulation of the data you captured. Do not get me wrong... I absolutely am against creating data, i.e. adding something that was not captured. But being able to right a wrong in the 'digital darkroom' is awesome! I shoot almost exclusively in RAW format, which opens a huge arena in which adjustments can/could be made. Obviously one wants to look at a shot and conclude that no adjustments are necessary... but I ain't that good. Besides, film and developing seems rather expensive when I can look (and trash) before printing anything in digital! Quote
-HAWK- Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 My main thing changes constantly, but fishing has been a part of my life since I was about 5 years old. I just recently got into targeting Largemouth Bass primarily over the Last two years. I would say this is my Main thing at this time. But previously for most of my life it has been Saltwater fishing.

Tim Ford Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I have two seasons in my life: September to Mid-February: Football Season Mid-February to September: Fishing Season During Football Season I'm going to Tuscaloosa for Alabama games, or watching away games at home. I also love NFL football, and go to Titans games every chance I get. During Fishing Season, well... I'm fishing. Quote
tnhiker44 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 During Football Season I'm going to Tuscaloosa for Alabama games, or watching away games at home. . So, let me get this straight. During football season you root for a team named after a fungus (red tide) that has an elephant for a mascot?? Well at least you fish. Just joking my man!! Should be an interesting year in the SEC.. I wish your red fungus team all the luck... they will need it!!!!!!!! Quote
nickb Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 My thing, along with fishing, is running. I'm 20, and I've already completed 6 marathons, while qualifying for the Boston Marathon twice. When I'm not running, I'm either fishing or reading this forum. The wife makes me work on the weekdays. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 23, 2009 Super User Posted May 23, 2009 1) Fishing 2) Eating 3) Time alone with my wife (if you know what I mean) Not necessarily in that order. Weather might switch 3 with 1 Quote
Olebiker Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I have been bass fishing since I was 15, but it has become my main recreational focus over the last 18 months, especially since I joined a bass club and acquired my father's old Bass Tracker. I still do a bit of bicycling and wooddorking when I can make time between work on the house, playing with my grandchildren, and entertaining SWMBO. Quote
Eddie Munster Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 My main thing is drinking Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain...... Wife and kids battle for #1 spot depending upon their needs with the wife edging them out if all things are equal. She'll be there long after they've moved on. From March to September bass fishing is my main thing. Come September though it's Pro Football time so it's GO STEELERS time. I also do Fantasy Football in a church league so I'll watch every game I can even if it's the Lions vs Raiduhs. That pretty much takes me to February and I'll take those 28 days to recover and start chasing the bait monkey. Quote
AnthonyS Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 What is this a confession thread? hahhaha My list is (in no order): Photography (D90 with a bunch of lenses) - I do weddings and other events as a part time thing (Anthonyspics.com) Cars (Integra Type R) - I enjoy road racing and doing HPDE's 4 to 6 times a year fishing small dirt bikes - I used to race MX but I dont feel like messing with the injuries anymore hangin with the wife Church Stuff I do about everything equaly.

SDoolittle Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Fishing is my #1 main thing, but I'm also a college football junkie. Quote
luger306 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I have fished as long as I could remember. my wife also fishes so it is something we do together along with camping. I hunt,reload and shoot long range I also do some woodworking but fishing and shooting does take up a lot of my time(talking,learning and doing)it's a close race Quote
mrlitetackle Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 1. fishing 2. surfing (although its been a while since ive been out, fishing has kinda taken over) 3. gym the rest gets thrown to the old battle axe Quote
kms399 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 duck hunting is my favorite with bass fishing a very close second Quote
CODbasser Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 bass fishing is my main hobby, i used to hunt but i just dont have the heart to kill anything anymore...i know this doesnt sound like a hobby but i really enjoy college...I had a writing class last semester and it kinda got me into writing; i like photography also...im a cannon man... like the digital but i am thinking about going back to film...the film pics seem to have more depth...and i can scan the negatives and do anything with them i can do with digital..

Luke at Gouldsboro Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I've always enjoyed fishing (been doing it since I was a kid). I had never caught a bass before and a month ago I got my first one. Now I spend as much time on the water as possible, looking to catch a bigger fish. It's really addicting. I don't hunt, but I play guitar, drums, and bass guitar/ and I play gigs on weekends for extra Fishing gear cash!!! Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Fishing is definitely my main thing but guitar is a very close second. I honestly don't think I could live without either. I enjoy playing drums as well and I also spend a lot of time doing artwork and hunting. luke on g-borough, sounds like we have a good bit in common Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 25, 2009 Super User Posted May 25, 2009 Until I moved to Tennessee, hunting and golf were my passion. When I move to the South it coincided with the discovery of the GYCB Senko. I have given up both golf and hunting, now fishing year around. Other primary interests are cooking, gardening, NFL Football and college ball to a lesser degree. 8-) Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted May 25, 2009 Super User Posted May 25, 2009 After my wife, kids, and grandkids, fishing is my passion. Recently. all my grandkids have been VERY interested in fishing with Papa. When they come to visit, they all run to get the PFD's and rods and reels. In the winter, I like to do some small wood working projects. Just recently, I made my granddaughters bunk beds for their dolls. I've also made some crankbaits. Falcon Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted May 25, 2009 Super User Posted May 25, 2009 Family, job (love it but man it can eat up my time LOL), home/farm, community (strong advocate of children, parenting, and public education). After that I'm a naturalist first, and fishing, hunting, birding, botany, entomology, herpetology, .... are all part of it. I am fascinated with the natural world and my life, outside the above priority list, revolves around it. I try to stay connected. And it's tough to do. Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 25, 2009 Super User Posted May 25, 2009 God, Family, & Friends then its Big Ole Fat Bass Quote
