Women successful fisherpeople? Why arent there any?

Question

Thank you for all your responses. I wish the boat, tackle and engine manufacturers would sponsor women like they did men fishermen. WTF??

I guess money talks...

Answer 1

I bet per capita women are just as successful as fisher people as men are.  

BTW, I am an ace fisher person, especially with fly-fishing.  My Daddy taught me!

Answer 2

I don't know, but I just started getting into fishing and its a lot more fun than I thought it would ever be.  And I even caught a bass!  I think there are a lot of women who think its boring or "a man's sport" and don't give it a try.  I'm really glad that I finally gave it a chance.  But not all women think to try it, I think.  

Answer 3

my girl is a great fisherperson

Answer 4

You don't know for a fact there aren't any, do you?  How many successful fisherguys can you name?

Answer 5

You obviously know nothing about the famous ama women of Shirahama, Japan.  They are divers who fish for abalone:

You trolls really need to do your research.

Answer 6

They don't have a pole, and only a few are master baiters.

Answer 7

I love to fish and I can even bait my own hook, disassemble and reassemble a rod and reel, scale and gut a fish.  I know how to handle a catfish as well.  My brother and I learned all of this when we were just kids.  I hope to teach both my son a daughter these things soon.

"I bet per capita women are just as successful as fisher people as men are."

Whatever you say dear...
