Another post lead to talk of years of fishing experience.
Specific question is how many years of experience is there among our 10 most seasoned members?
Iβm thinking 500-700 years easy! Post your years of experience and Iβll keep a tally and post our top ten at the end.

Iβm giving you the 70 years of experience. If I remember correctly you fished commercially at one point along the way those years should count double.πππ»

I have been fishing since I was 8. That figures out to 67 years.
My dad started taking me fishing with him 62 years ago when I was five. I helped my 4 year old granddaughter catch her first fish this week on Monday. Three of her four siblings also fished for the first time and also caught their first fish that day! What a great memory for all of us!!
