>>2497466>I find the idea of freshwater fisherman elitism very amusing.Try it sometime. My 67-year-old mother can catch a ton of fish at a pier or on the ocean if someone hands her a rod, and so can I.
Saltwater is the kindergarten of fishing.
In fact it's so easy that a commercial boat can simply dip a huge net in and haul up tons of fish with a crane, but saltfags still think that their ability to catch a few oceanic species with a rod is challenging or admirable.
Freshwater fishing (for native species, not truck-dumped Cletus chow) is challenging and requires skill and knowledge far beyond that of saltergarteners.
