Because if you feed me, I’ll work. If you don’t feed me, I won’t work. But feed me first.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Think we all know where that comes from.

True. I was lost in memories again, thinking of my hungry childhood. What is your fish quote from? I’ve heard it many times but don’t know the source.
@PinCushion My minds gone weird tonight ready for bed at 9.30pm on a Friday night. I’m getting old. After a google seems no one really knows either. I thought it was from the bible but many say it’s an old chinese proverb some say it’s more recent but lots of confliction between who said it.

Well do your part and don’t catch tuna and salmon then!
Sorry, I have 40 cans of tuna left, lol.

I caught most of my salmon in a creek and pond, not in the ocean…
I’ve created a monster!
I didn’t know creeks and ponds had salmon.
I remember that!

They breed in creeks and then go to sea for a number of years, then they return. You can catch them in the ocean and in fact commercial fishermen do that. But regular fishing with poles you usually get them coming back, in the salt water channels or as they enter the rivers and ponds right off the rivers.
And well, um, this one decided it would even cross the road next to the river…
Why did the salmon cross the road? To prove he’s no chicken!
Why did the salmon cross the road? To get to the other tide.

Excellent!
He also really crossed the line there, and he’s still not a yellow-belly.
(It’s a male salmon - can tell by the back arch and snout)
