Fishing is not quite as bad as hunting on TRYING TO DO THE MATH, but it is almost as bad. After paying your deer lease, gas spent going and coming,and other costs, the meat is about $17 per pound. I don't think fishing is too bad, but the meat can also be quite costly. It is much easier to use this math on your wife the first time, because at the end of the season you hope she has forgotten the math you used to buy what you needed, I mean wanted.
