This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’ve been doing a lot of catch and release lately. I have a freezer full of bass, catfish, and panfish. I’m lucky that I live close to river with no restrictions on how much you can eat due to pollution. So, I save up and invite this couple over that I’m friends with and do a big fish fry every so often. Food has gotten so expensive that fishing really helped this past year.
Though I will say. The older I’ve gotten the harder it is to kill fish. I find myself throwing back a lot of fish that I would have kept on the past.
You should maybe be inviting people you hate.
Most places you can only eat one fish a month due to mercury or PCBs. Here the water is so clean there are no restrictions.
It’s monitored. Alabama specifically says that the fish are clean and no restrictions.
For instance I’m using Oregon as an example. Statewide you can have 6 meals of bass a month due to mercury. Columbia river lamprey 2 to 4 meals a month due to mercury and PCBs.
I live in Alabama and my specific part doesn’t have those problems.
