Does it make me weird that I love fishing so much but do not eat fish?

Not at all.
Most of the time I keep 2 filets and give the rest away

I know a guy who has traveled the world fishing with guides everywhere he goes. He spends a small fortune every year going to Russia, Australia, etc. He not only will not eat fish, he can't stand to touch one. if he actually has to touch a fish he almost gets sick.

Everyone thinks I'm weird for letting all of my fish go regardless of size or species. Ate catfish once when I was young and no fish since. Only thing close to fish is fried clams

I think it is a sign of a great fisherman.... You must catch so many fish you are sick of eating them!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy Cool Wink

We all fish for our own reasons. Personally, I have no interest at all in catching fish that a aren't good to eat. The expectation of how freaking great the meal is going to be is what keeps me going at times when I'm basically burned out and ready to call it quits!!!!!

Heck, big carp fight GREAT as do big buffalo, catfish and alligator gar.................. all of which I'm surrounded by. I don't fish for them for the same reason though.

To each their own. Without folks like you there'd be less for the rest of us to eat!!!!!! Cool

I don't think you're weird Mullet. There is nothing wrong with fishing for the sport of it!

Just an overgrown Ladyfish, and I hope to never have one bother my bait/lure again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool Actually, I wouldn't mind catching one just to say that I did, but that's about it. I'd much rather spend my fishing time getting ready for supper!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
