- When you go fishing and you catch something, that’s good. If you’re making love and you catch something, that’s bad. - Fish don’t compare you to other fi sherman, and neither do they want to know how many other fish you caught. - In fishing you lie about the one that got away. In loving you lie about the one you caught. - You can catch and release a fish, and you don’t have to lie and promise to still be friends after you let it go. - You don’t have to necessari ly change your line to keep catching fish. - You can catch a fish on a 20-cent nightcrawler. If you want to catch a woman, you’re talking dinner and a movie minimum. - Fish don’t mind if you fall asleep in the middle of fishing.
