I was able to get a Arizona Forever fishing license recently. No cost, just had to be a resident of the state for over 30 years and good until I'm gone.

Old age has it's perks.

Well, we ain't got an ocean but MO has over a million acres of fishable waters and a VERY well run Dept of Conservation. In-state fishing license is 12 bucks with a few add-ons for trout and other things. All very cheap for good access to a LOT of well managed Conservation areas. Coming here originally from Illinois, I was shocked at how good it is. Hell, they throw in a subscription to a great monthly magazine as well.

Would love to go fishing for wild salmon. One of my favorite fish to eat, but I have never caught one.

Bottom fishing can be a little fun... but pulling fish off the bottom is like reeling in a bucket of water. Not a lot of fight to it, just a lot of pulling.

I like the fight of the pelagic fish... the back and forth of it. The initial run, the taking back some line, then the next run, etc... all the while wondering if the big mutha fugga is gonna break your line or spit the hook.
