i sold my first fish in 1974 at age 9. the fish was 32lbs off the beach at marconi. i made 20 bucks and man was i rich. i've been at it ever since. i've made alot more money over the years selling fish but nothing will be as rewarding as that first 20 dollar bill.

Hey I can remember as a kid in the early eighties and dad selling our catch of blues. I still cant beleive that vast numbers to this day. The term "a dime a dozen" doesnt even come close to describing it really! Do I fault him for ever selling fish? no way. He did what he did so he could afford spend time fishing with us and what we didnt sell went in the freezer and fed us every friday for supper all year round..........
