I haven't been fishing in years. But I grew up with quite diverse experiences in that area.
One grandfather was a charter boat captain who docked at Hatteras, NC on The Outer Banks. He fished the Gulf Stream. Marlin fishing (and the tournaments) was/is a big thing. I loved going out on the boat with grandpa. Spanish mackerel, red drum, dolphin, and tuna along with many other fish were landed.
My grandmother on the other side of the family fished ponds and rock quarries and the Mississippi River in Iowa. It was one extreme to the other - from the huge fish caught from grandpa's boats to fish that were the size of my tiny hands.
I enjoyed both but didn't ever get into it seriously and pretty much left fishing behind after they were both gone.
