This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When i fish i just catch and release. Fishing is about fishing for me. Not the result. I feel bad for the fish though. They get a hook in their mouth, gets dragged up, i say "Hey there buddy" and then they go home. I wonder what they tell to their family.

Most of them probably die from their injuries.

universal healthcare for fish when?

I’ve been doing a lot of catch and release lately. I have a freezer full of bass, catfish, and panfish. I’m lucky that I live close to river with no restrictions on how much you can eat due to pollution. So, I save up and invite this couple over that I’m friends with and do a big fish fry every so often. Food has gotten so expensive that fishing really helped this past year.

Though I will say. The older I’ve gotten the harder it is to kill fish. I find myself throwing back a lot of fish that I would have kept on the past.

You should maybe be inviting people you hate.

Most places you can only eat one fish a month due to mercury or PCBs. Here the water is so clean there are no restrictions.

For instance I’m using Oregon as an example. Statewide you can have 6 meals of bass a month due to mercury. Columbia river lamprey 2 to 4 meals a month due to mercury and PCBs.

I live in Alabama and my specific part doesn’t have those problems.
