  1. I like the one by Charles Martin. I can relate to that. My grandson, Andrew, age 12 just got excited about fishing this year. I think that there is a photograph of every single fish that the boy has caught this year. In one photo the bluegill is not much larger than a fingerling. But, my grandson is grinning from ear to ear because he is proud of his catch.

  2. It’s hard to pick a favourite. All are good. Regarding the second cartoon. Yes, there are fish as big as busses or trains located near the bottom of lakes, especially near dams. It’s been reported skin divers researching the bottom of Chickamauga Lake near Chattanooga, TN came face to face with such large catfish. Can you say “all you can eat?”

  3. I agree with Mark on the 2nd one down. Lucky for these fisherman that huge fish looks like he already ate and is now resting. Still, it might be best to keep the boat moving.

  4. Fishing cartoons are one of my favorites. Especially enjoyed the cartoon where the boat stopped to fish over the huge one just below the surface. A nibble from that fish might well take your whole rod and reel. Thanks for the laughs.
