Fishing is weirdly relaxing and a nice way to spend some alone time or hang out with friend. I wonder how many has it as a hobby here? I used to be a more regular fisher when I was younger and lived nearby a lake, but now in the city I only go fishing a couple of times during the summer.
Thanks for posting a pic of your life - tinnitus doesn't rule it! Take example newbies, life can continue to be enjoyable with the noise
PS. I don't think we have catfish in Finnish waters anymore. According to Wikipedia we had it in the 1800s, and in the Gulf of Finland it was seen until 1960s, but not after that.
