I was curious to see how much this wonderful hobby of fishing costs per pound of fish caught, that is if it is a good day and any fish are caught at all.
I took a hypothetical trip to Willard Bay and this is what I came up with.
$12.97 per pound of fish.
I looked up the price of seafood at my local grocery store,
Atlantic Salmon- $9.99 per pound
Cod Fillet- $7.99 per pound
Catfish Fillet- $8.39 per pound
Red Snapper Fillet $7.79 per pound
Raw Shrimp- $7.99 per pound
Lobster Tails- $8.39 per pound
King Crab Legs- $19.89 per pound
If fishing weren't so darn addicting, I may be better off just splurging on a nice seafood dinner once or twice a month!
I'll attach the spreadsheet that I used to make the calculations and a picture of my sheet as well. I will then promptly hide this sheet on my computer and never let my wife see the results.
