I fish 50 or so times a year. I get a lot of joy from catching fish, getting my children on the fish, helping their friends catch fish, and making new friends centered around catching fish. I enjoy eating the fish that we catch three times a week. LA fish once a week, and CO fish twice a week. My wife is preparing redfish for dinner even as we speak.
I've managed to start up a quantitative fisheries science research program, so I get to get paid for thinking about fisheries science, weighing and measuring fish, reading the scientific literature on various fisheries question, analyzing data related to fisheries science, and preparing reports and publications.
