We all like to fish, or we wouldn't be on a fishing forum... but I've noticed that there are different kinds of fisherpeople. Some are perfectly happy plunking some powerbait for 11 inch hatchey trout all day. Others are strictly bass guys. Some like catching as many fish as possible while others are just looking for that one big one etc. I suspect that most of us are a mix and enjoy several different strategies of fishing.
As for me, my thing is catching new species. Big or small, if it has fins and swims I want to catch it. I like the challenge of figuring out what species I want to catch, where they can be caught, and what techniques it will take to catch them. Don't get me wrong if I had a choice between catching say a trophy steelhead and something tiny I'd take the big steelhead. But give me a choice between maybe a small steelhead and a tiny new species and I'll take the new species every time.
I'm by no means saying my way is better than anybody else's (in fact I think I'm kind of weird [
]), I'm just wondering if anybody else does the same thing, or has any other goals or strategies while you're out there.
What sort of fisherperson are you?
