I love going fishing.  Its a great way to pass the time and enjoy the outdoors.
It is very fun. I grew up fishing. Which kind of fishing do you prefer? Fly fishing, deep sea fishing, normal lure fishing?
I don't live near the ocean, so I usually just fish with a simple rod and reel in a local lake.
Thats the type of fishing I grew up doing. I even caught crayfish from time to time. What kind of fish do you catch?
Bass or crappie usually.  We don't have a lot of swamps or steams where they would thrive around here. 
Very interesting! Do you keep the fish or throw them back in?
I throw them back in.  I don't really know how to clean them.  Do you know how to cook crappies?
I know how to clean and cook most fish. I grew up on a farm so I learned a lot of stuff like that. I'm not sure what a crappie is though. What does it look like?
They are usually silver to green in color with black splotches over their entire body
Very interesting! I will have to look it up before I go fishing next time. Thank you
Black crappies usually have seven or eight spines on their dorsal fin so they are quite unique!
