What kind of fish you catch in Bama?

I am no pro fisherman Hehehe, I usually don't catch anything Lolz, but every now and then I will get lucky. Redfin seems to be the most common fish to catch in my part of Victoria, Australia.

Trout can be caught here too, but still haven't caught one on the local river, even though I had hooked a rainbow trout, it came of the hook quite quickly, I have caught one brown trout about half an hour away though in a creek.

Oh and for beach, bay, estuary, harbour fishing, the easiest thing to catch is a toadie (toadfish).

Howdy, I'm a twenty-two year old male from Alabama.
I enjoy shooting, fishing, I raise chickens and have a garden. I do have a YouTube account though that I will post videos on occasionally.
A lot of people consider me an old soul as I don't own a television and I use a flip phone.

oh thats not so bad EM.....television is hardly productive and phone wise your'e a plenty of steps up from two cans and a length of string.....annnnnd, do you shoot the chickens in the garden because they took your worms for fishing? :)

Lot of bass, catfish, and croppie or crappie, however you choose to pronounce it. Caught a 3lb smallmouth the other day.

@EarlyMarksman Sounds like you are a great outdoors person! Australia seems a remarkable land, with all that Outback...

Negative. Chickens are in a wire fence, however sometimes they'll figure out how to escape and they will eat my tomatoes.

Definitely more of an outdoors enthusiast than a pro outdoorsman. I have a lot to learn.

@EarlyMarksman Pictures of Ayer's Rock / Uluru and the Olgas seem really out of this world..... Arid, but Alice Springs seems to have remarkable gardens and parks, amidst all the red earth.

I am not familiar with those places.

@EarlyMarksman Oops, Alabama; I misread 'Australia...' :)

Oh haha, it's alright.

@EarlyMarksman So does your avatar picture show a scene from Alabama? :)

If, I hadn't realized there was so much woodland there; I had thought more in terms of marshland/ swamps along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.....

I'm not sure, I just found that picture online. Alabama is 67% forest with roughly 22 million acres of woods. My house does sit on a plot where a swamp used to be though. The hunting club I am a member of has over 4000 acres of land to roam about.

@EarlyMarksman Interesting....so much forest. You must feel very close to nature.

PS: @EarlyMarksman Can't believe I confused Alabama with Australia... :)

Well we do have a lot of American Robins and Blue Jays that come to our backyard as well as two nests that were built, one in a fern and the other in a corner of the house. Rabbits and squirrels are common here. Chipmunk population has seemingly declined which may or may not be influenced by us putting out traps and poison. Other than that it is just the twelve chickens I have in the backyard.

I am in a semi-rural area and have neighbors so I am not as isolated as I would like to be. It is about a 25 minute drive to the nearest Walmart though.

@EarlyMarksman So you would like to be even more isolated than you are, then? Blue Jays remind me of the baseball team...

Yes. Back when I had a TV I was a big Braves fan.

@EarlyMarksman Personally I don't miss TV....

@EarlyMarksman I think there was an airplane called a Chipmunk....(military trainer or something...) :)

I am 41 minutes to the nearest department store "Big W", it's kind of like a Walmart.
