I want to pose to you all a hypothetical situation:  Imagine you are minding your own business when suddenly an anonymous stranger approaches you and offers you $50,000.00 but with one caveat: you must forsake and abandon your love of fishing for the rest of your life and forfeit ALL of your fishing gear forever.  Which option would YOU choose?

I can be bought, but to stop fishing, swimming, &/or running, all of which I love, $50,000 isn't remotely near the ballpark. Fish on!

If you figure in my boats, truck and other gear $ 50000.00 wouldn't replace what I have. Just remember its not about money. You can't buy memories and money isn't everything.

Very true and good point! With all that money I could buy a bass boat but never be able to use it!...

Talk to me when the offer gets to $50,000.000.

No way cq that is not even close to give up something that i love..I am teaching my grandkids the joy of being out on the water catching fish and they all love it ............

To me, 50 grand is a lot. But it will come and go. I am young and I still have a good 40 to 50 years (God willing) of fishing left in me! That is worth more than money.

I think if work, time, weather and the girlfriend can’t stop me a little money won’t either. There is a lot more to life than money. The day and age that we are in a lot of people really don’t see that. All that matters to people is money. As long as I am here I’ll be fishing and enjoying the great outdoors.

Happy Fishing

No amount of money will EVER tempt me to give up my fishing gear. I dont even know what I would do with that money if I couldn't buy more fishing stuff

Keep fishin'

Tom it is there you put a  .    instead of a   ,      




For me it would take way more than that like Frank said I already have that much and more in replacement value now...........with that said I just enjoy it too much and as a OLE fart I could NOT be bought !!!!!


Fun topic !!!!
