[speaker002:] actually I don't have much recent experience uh but I have done uh a variety of fishing probably the most favorite uh was when I was of youth um probably in the ages ten to fifteen when I went out with my dad uh we lived in we lived on the uh southeast coast of Florida about a mile from the ocean we went out off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Miami
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] in uh small boat with a small outboard motor
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] went out a mile two miles three miles sometimes and bottom fished and uh and got lots of fish very rapidly basically went out to a reef and uh which probably about oh ten fathoms or something like that and uh and we just pull up fish usually pull up fish as fast as you could let your line down
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and sometimes uh had some fun uh with trigger fish that would follow other fish up and then then you'd catch the trigger fish right at the surface occasional shark or an occasional octopus things of that nature but
[speaker001:] yeah that must have been neat with octopus
[speaker002:] yeah well that was pretty rare you know but every once in a while you'd get something like that
[speaker001:] yeah yeah most of I haven't really done any like like you said in awhile it's uh most of my favorite fishing was before I came in the service and that was trout fishing up in Wyoming
[speaker002:] I see
[speaker001:] and we went out to a lot of lakes and the streams and stuff and went fishing I did some fly fishing and stuff in the streams and that that's pretty fun doing fly fishing
[speaker002:] now where do you do uh trout fishing in Wyoming
[speaker001:] a lot of most of the lakes up there have rainbow trout in them or brook trout
[speaker002:] I see so you would fish in the lake
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and the fly fishing is in the stream or what
[speaker001:] yeah in the in the stream or a river you know uh what if you got a pretty good if you know it has to be probably knee deep or a little deeper for you know in a creek before you can really do any good fishing
[speaker002:] um you fish from the bank or do you wade
[speaker001:] a lot of times just fish from the bank um unless you get a good spot spot in the corner you can kind of wade out a little bit but most of my fishing was done from the bank
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] but it it was pretty fun uh I've caught a three four pound trout before and that's pretty good size trout
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] um I've caught some we got one reservoir up there that has some walleye in it and I caught some of them
[speaker002:] where abouts in Wyoming is this
[speaker001:] uh up near Devil's Tower northeast corner
[speaker002:] I see
[speaker001:] uh and oh we went to Florida where my grandfather lives we went out and did some uh fishing out in the ocean so that was pretty neat too
[speaker002:] where abouts is this
[speaker001:] uh Sarasota
[speaker002:] I see that's quite different from the east coast the the the uh gulf coast uh you have to go out like maybe ten or twenty miles before you get more than knee deep almost
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] whereas on the east coast uh you go out a mile and you're already uh five ten fathoms down
[speaker001:] yeah it it was it's pretty good though you know some of the bays are you know a little deep you know where they come in and stuff but
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] uh it it was uh an experience you know because he had his own boat
[speaker002:] so what did you what did you get there off Sarasota
[speaker001:] uh I'm not really sure what they called it uh I don't even remember it's been such a long time what I was catching
[speaker002:] have you ever been sport fishing
[speaker001:] no I haven't
[speaker002:] I'd like to do that sometime I've never been sport fishing the closest I've come is to is uh go out on party boats drift fishing
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] yeah which is pretty nice we did that in New Jersey not too many years ago and uh did it just at the right time and we got into just schools and schools of blue fish big ones about they each one weighed about ten pounds
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] you know they were about like uh three four feet long
[speaker001:] oh that pretty good size
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah that was really uh really I guess they may be about three feet long not four but um um that was something they really fought like
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you like nothing nothing else I'd ever had
[speaker001:] yeah I've watched a lot of them sport fishing things on TV you know where they're out in the deep sea fishing
[speaker002:] hm
