I just got my first fishing license yesterday and I’m excited to learn about it. Is it just as easy as bait the hook and cast it then wait for a bite?

    Well first you need to find a willing partner. Doing this can be scary, but there are a lot of folks who are into it and we should never kink shame.

    Next. Be gentle! Getting one’s anus able to be stretched so large is a huge under taking (get it? UNDER taking?). Always start with a finger and SLOWLY work your way up based on your partner’s direction.

    Hygiene. Gloves are your friend. In most cases you can buy gloves that go up to the elbow at your local farming supply store. Also your partner should be encouraged to do a full bowel irrigation. Unless that’s what you’re into. Again no kink shaming here!

    Finally LOTS of lube. There’s no such thing as too much lube in this case. Be generous and use often.

    With these tips you should be able to master at fis-…. Shit. Well this is embarrassing. Yet I’ve come too far.

      Here’s a good example of why you should read all the instructions before you begin. Also, if anyone reading this is planning in spending any time at the DeMonfort Vale Fisheries this weekend I’ll warn you now: the fish are all fucked up.

    It definitely can be that easy, yes. My most successful day was just a hook (no bait) off the side of the boat while we just let the line hang.

    That being said, you can learn the local varieties of fish, their preferences for different kinds of bait, and you can explore your local area for good fishing spots.

    If you have the option, there’s probably a 90 year old Korea vet who will tell you the arcane arts of catching swordfish in the rockies somewhere.

    I recommend starting with Ocarina of Time of Time. Before you know it, you’ll be hauling 'em in everywhere, from Red Dead Redemption 2 to Animal Crossing.

    Maybe I didnt grow up with fishing as a normal thing, but Ive always seen it as an excuse for guys to get away from thier wives and drink.

    I did it once, and 10 minutes in I was bored. Just standing there with a line, waiting…
