WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:01.480
So

00:01.480 --> 00:08.840
How often do you you talk to friends either girlfriends or guy friends and you know they talk about dating and they talk about fish pics

00:08.840 --> 00:13.020
They're like oh my gosh. I'm dating a guy. Yeah, I ever see him. Yeah. How does that come up?

00:14.040 --> 00:20.840
With most my girlfriends that I talked to you know if they see a fish pick on the dating app they're usually they want to go away

00:22.760 --> 00:29.440
But it really depends on the person I think people that are more inclined to be out in nature

00:29.440 --> 00:32.200
And fishing and stuff. Maybe that's not their ideal thing

00:32.200 --> 00:38.800
But if they do see one they're like, okay, like I might check it out really depends on the person also how they're holding the fish

00:38.800 --> 00:43.520
You know the fish picks they make a difference. So yeah, what's the proper way?

00:45.200 --> 00:50.960
This this this is the proper way if you're holding them up like this. I think that's a little it's a little weird

00:50.960 --> 00:58.200
But maybe my personal personal thing. Okay, so you personally do you have a fish pick? Oh, I have some fish picks like this

00:58.440 --> 01:02.800
The right way the right way. Yep. We got some good ones. I mean I can show them to you later

01:04.480 --> 01:09.880
So what is the the fear I guess of a guy with a fish pick of?

01:11.400 --> 01:17.080
There's a lot of women I've known just like oh absolutely not because they're afraid that I mean

01:17.640 --> 01:21.880
Okay, I mean my boyfriend. He's a really big fisherman. He has a lot of fish picks

01:21.880 --> 01:26.360
But I knew him before I really knew that he was in to that and so

01:27.160 --> 01:30.120
When I saw that I was like, oh my god, like usually I think

01:30.960 --> 01:34.720
You know like very like redneck hick type of thing

01:35.720 --> 01:38.480
But it really just depends on the person

01:39.080 --> 01:42.600
But that is the vibe that you kind of get off of the fish

01:47.800 --> 01:52.520
But I mean they're they're pretty good fish though. I mean is that another fact. I mean, well, yeah

01:53.520 --> 01:59.680
That's true. I mean if they're holding up a blue girl, that's you know, if it's like a seven pound blue girl

01:59.680 --> 02:00.760
That's okay. That's cool

02:00.760 --> 02:04.040
But you know like if you got a huge musky, that's great

02:04.040 --> 02:09.280
But if you got like a little small one, yeah, um, but I think it depends on the fish

02:10.480 --> 02:15.840
Yeah, I don't know but there's I've seen memes or things out there to talk about like, you know

02:15.840 --> 02:18.880
The only time their guy smiles is when he's going to use the fish

02:18.880 --> 02:25.840
I would have to probably agree. I think my boyfriend's biggest smiles are probably when he's holding a fish

02:26.840 --> 02:28.440
but

02:28.440 --> 02:34.880
You know, it depends on the guy. Um, but yeah, I'd say guys are pretty much their happiest when they're out alone fishing on a

02:34.880 --> 02:36.880
on a pond or so

02:36.880 --> 02:40.160
Should that be a red flag or would you advise women to give them more of a shot?

02:40.160 --> 02:45.880
I think give him more of a shot, you know, like maybe his real joy in life is really only fishing

02:45.960 --> 02:47.960
He sure he probably loves you probably but

02:48.800 --> 02:53.360
Fish is great. The fish don't talk back the fish. They don't ask you to get him dinner. The fish are just there

02:53.360 --> 02:57.480
So, you know, I don't know and for you and your experiences

02:57.480 --> 03:02.760
Do you think that you came as a separate like extra bonus because you I would hope so?

03:03.640 --> 03:08.400
Yeah, yeah, you know, we met before I was really into fishing and then I got right back into it and

03:09.240 --> 03:13.920
You know, we tend not to fish together because it causes some uprising

03:14.600 --> 03:16.600
But you know, we're working on it

03:16.600 --> 03:21.440
So he takes it a lot more seriously than I do is that a rivalry in the book that a little bit. Yeah

03:22.000 --> 03:24.000
So what are the most common?

03:24.000 --> 03:28.920
Frictions that exist in a relationship in one person is very serious about fishing. Yeah

03:28.920 --> 03:36.040
I think the way that we go about fishing like the lures that we use live versus artificial bait

03:36.680 --> 03:38.680
Especially being on the scientific side of things

03:39.640 --> 03:43.640
He tends to really just, you know, want the fish that he wants and I'm like, okay

03:43.640 --> 03:48.280
But I want to look at all the tiny ones and like the bigger ones and I want to look at the whole ecosystem

03:48.360 --> 03:52.880
So I'm more of kind of like la de da da da and you know, he's kind of on his his own mission

03:53.440 --> 03:55.440
So that kind of causes some

03:55.480 --> 03:57.640
Some ruckus there, but yeah

03:58.200 --> 04:00.200
For this story, we have seen

04:00.520 --> 04:05.280
Couples that fish together. Yeah, do you think that they naturally go together or is it more?

04:05.280 --> 04:10.000
I mean, like because they fly to an interest or like you said, there's a lot of this is solo or peace and

04:10.000 --> 04:13.880
It is. Yeah, I think a lot of the time. It's very much like a solo adventure

04:14.520 --> 04:16.480
You know props to the people who can do it together

04:16.480 --> 04:22.400
I think it really just takes to people who really really understand what each other want to go out there and

04:22.680 --> 04:26.280
To get to that point you have to spend a lot of time with that person fishing

04:27.320 --> 04:32.800
Otherwise like the patience it just takes patience, especially if someone doesn't really know how to fish it takes a lot of patience

04:33.440 --> 04:36.480
So I think yeah, I could probably do a little bit better

04:37.360 --> 04:42.560
Of learning some of that stuff because I'm not I wouldn't call myself a real angler

04:42.560 --> 04:50.840
I'm more of all the scientific side things, but yeah, so when you I think there's a stereotype when people see a woman fishing with a man

04:50.840 --> 04:57.640
Yeah, she just wants to be with them. She doesn't do it. I mean, but there's probably a lot of cases where oh, yeah

04:57.880 --> 05:02.640
There's plenty of people that are much better than men that fishing

05:04.040 --> 05:07.280
Yeah, you know, I haven't met a whole lot of them

05:07.280 --> 05:10.000
I think if you go out west there's a whole lot more of fly fish and all that

05:10.880 --> 05:12.880
But you know, it's

05:13.440 --> 05:20.600
I'm hoping it's an up-and-coming thing that more women take on to it. It might make those fish pictures more like nice

05:20.600 --> 05:22.680
They're like, you know, like people want it more

05:23.240 --> 05:27.600
But yeah, I don't know. It's you don't see a whole lot of women fishing out there anymore

05:27.600 --> 05:32.360
I guess it's never really been that way, but hopefully soon. I don't know. Yeah

05:32.760 --> 05:37.200
Thank you so much. Thank you to just so I have it correct for this section say and spell your name

05:37.200 --> 05:43.600
Yeah, yeah, Kelsey Turin KEL SCY THU RIM and what would your title be?

05:44.360 --> 05:49.800
an LTE limited term employee, okay, and you are currently a grad student or you

05:50.160 --> 05:56.640
Yeah, current grad student. Oh, yeah, UW Green Bay. Okay. Yeah, cool. Sweet. All right. Yeah, I survived

05:58.000 --> 06:04.040
All right, so give me your perspective on fish picks dating fishing and relationships

06:04.040 --> 06:08.880
What's the advice you give? What other questions you get? Right? Yeah, so

06:09.840 --> 06:16.160
Fish picks are like big thing in our demographic for sure. Um, I feel like

06:16.160 --> 06:18.160
Sorry

06:20.360 --> 06:23.960
Camera is crazy for me. All right, let me let me think about that

06:25.840 --> 06:29.400
So yeah, let's start one more time mid 20s

06:30.000 --> 06:35.800
Approximately, yeah, I just graduated. Okay, so you've been through the dating cycle. Mm-hmm. So you've probably seen, you know

06:35.960 --> 06:37.960
online dating sites and so

06:38.400 --> 06:45.040
How how often are most of the pictures of people out there holding? Mm-hmm. Yeah, great question

06:45.040 --> 06:51.840
So I feel like you see it a lot, especially in the north woods because it's kind of like what a lot of guys do up here

06:51.840 --> 06:57.760
And so I went to school in Ashland, right? So it's right on Lake Superior. It's all about fishing

07:01.440 --> 07:06.480
Is it you talk about being the north woods is it so I guess for people out there

07:06.480 --> 07:11.840
Do they have to be open to that or is it you know, they're from maybe Madison or farther south?

07:12.160 --> 07:18.560
Whereas they are women up here a little more open to that. Like that's just what you're gonna get

07:18.560 --> 07:25.520
I feel like yeah, it's definitely like what people do up here. Jeez man. I am so bad at this

07:31.520 --> 07:38.840
So I guess for you, do you have a fish pick? Oh, yeah for sure. I love fishing and so it's like

07:42.320 --> 07:44.640
What kind of questions do you get from some of your friends?

07:45.440 --> 07:47.920
What are the things they ask you like if they oh?

07:49.280 --> 07:52.000
Shoot, okay. Here's my thing. I feel like

07:53.120 --> 08:01.280
I'm pro fish pick, you know, like so I'm not the like stereotype. Maybe you're looking for no, we're looking for everything. Yeah, okay

08:01.520 --> 08:07.520
No, wait. Yeah, you have a certain background. Yeah, you see it's gonna make you predisposed to one thought for sure, but that's yours

08:08.000 --> 08:14.000
Yeah, right. So I'm all about the fish pick kind of what can I reference her? Yeah, yeah

08:14.480 --> 08:18.480
Sort of like what Kelsey was saying. Yeah, it's all about how they're holding the fish

08:18.960 --> 08:25.600
Yeah, it shows a lot how like natural you are with it and if it's like forced or what's going on it

08:26.480 --> 08:27.440
and

08:27.440 --> 08:33.520
Are you one where like that's the most natural smile you're gonna see? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's just like

08:34.320 --> 08:42.000
Fish are so cool. Right like they swim like underwater. They're breathing. They're so old, you know, it's like

08:43.040 --> 08:49.120
They're so cool. Like so should women worry about like will he love me as much as the fish?

08:51.440 --> 08:53.440
Hmm

08:54.720 --> 08:57.760
It depends on what you're looking for in a relationship, right?

08:58.400 --> 09:03.200
I like look for passion. So, you know, if someone's passionate about fishing

09:03.680 --> 09:05.840
And that's like the person for me, right?

09:06.560 --> 09:08.080
It's all like

09:08.080 --> 09:11.760
Perspective in that sense, you know, I want someone who's gonna go out

09:12.560 --> 09:18.160
And you know, even if it's raining, they still want to fish like that's cool. Oh, shoot

09:19.360 --> 09:21.360
But I guess

09:21.360 --> 09:27.680
All the women that aren't internet, that's just their loss, right? Yeah, totally. It's their loss, you know, like

09:29.600 --> 09:31.600
But it's good for me

09:31.840 --> 09:36.240
Can I get you to say and spell your name? Just so I have a question? Yeah, yeah, it's a coco

09:36.800 --> 09:42.640
COCO, Eberhard, E-B-E-R-H-A-R-D. And what is your title here?

09:43.280 --> 09:45.680
Fisheries technician. Perfect. Thank you

09:46.320 --> 09:50.400
Like there'd be times I'd be out working and there's no people within 20 miles of you

09:50.640 --> 09:52.400
And you're just like in the middle of nowhere

09:52.960 --> 09:56.800
Like you can't even find something like that here where you're that remote

09:57.520 --> 10:00.320
Yeah, not by that much. You're good. Yep. All right, so

10:02.240 --> 10:05.920
What's your what's your thought on the fish pick because I'm sure, you know, as a guy

10:05.920 --> 10:10.240
You probably have a lot of guy friends. Do they ever ask you's like, hey, does this look like a good picture?

10:10.320 --> 10:12.320
What should I put on my dating profile?

10:12.640 --> 10:17.040
I'm for it. I don't know. I have a lot of fish pictures. That's like most of my camera roll

10:17.520 --> 10:20.080
As I love to fish. I work with fish. I take a lot of them

10:20.640 --> 10:25.360
So I'm for it. So I know some people aren't like a lot of women or maybe they don't want to see that

10:26.000 --> 10:26.960
For me

10:26.960 --> 10:30.080
Like I would love to see like pictures of women with fish

10:30.080 --> 10:34.240
Like I want to be dating somebody marrying somebody who loves to do the things that I care about too

10:34.800 --> 10:36.640
So I'm all for it

10:36.640 --> 10:38.640
if there's a woman who

10:40.080 --> 10:44.560
We purposely won't swipe the correct way on a guy with the fish pick is that

10:45.200 --> 10:51.280
Is that kind of clearing the field making it easier because if she's that opposed to it or should they be more open?

10:52.320 --> 10:54.640
I think that it's important that people are true to who they

10:55.280 --> 10:58.640
Kind of are the things that they care about like for me if that's something that they're

10:59.440 --> 11:02.400
You know not for it might not be the right fit for myself personally

11:02.400 --> 11:06.560
But that doesn't mean it's inherently a bad thing because everyone has different preferences and not everyone

11:07.120 --> 11:12.080
You know cares about the same things that I do and like in an area like this you might not see that as frequently because

11:12.720 --> 11:16.400
Everybody up here loves to fish and that's part of why you live up somewhere like somewhere

11:16.400 --> 11:18.240
I can go to Wisconsin, but

11:18.240 --> 11:22.000
All the places in the world people care about different things and have different passions and hobbies

11:22.000 --> 11:24.320
So I think it kind of just depends on the person

11:24.960 --> 11:30.080
What is the advice you would give people who are entering into a relationship with someone who loves to fish

11:30.160 --> 11:33.440
And if they're not as much of a fisher person and not as much of an angler

11:33.920 --> 11:38.080
Because you know there's that whole thing of like well, where will their first love be?

11:39.040 --> 11:41.120
Yeah, I think I think there's a balance for sure

11:41.760 --> 11:45.280
Like you can have a hobby that you care about very much and do it frequently

11:45.840 --> 11:48.880
And still make time for the other person that's in your life

11:48.960 --> 11:53.200
And you can find a way to balance that like they might like not like fishing like my mom for example

11:53.200 --> 11:55.200
My mom does not fish and my dad does

11:55.200 --> 11:57.840
But whenever my dad goes out, my mom loves to come out just to be on the boat

11:58.240 --> 12:00.240
And so there's a ways to balance that sometimes

12:00.720 --> 12:03.600
That might mean that you're picking maybe her hobby over yours

12:03.920 --> 12:05.600
Right and balancing it that way or all right

12:05.600 --> 12:08.160
I'm not going to go fishing today because we're going to do the thing that you like to do

12:08.560 --> 12:12.480
And I think if you have that balance and you have that honest communication where you're

12:13.280 --> 12:14.960
able to be

12:14.960 --> 12:18.640
Doing the things that both people like to do. I think it can work just fine

12:18.960 --> 12:21.360
But how does fishing work as a as a couples thing?

12:21.440 --> 12:26.160
Like is it possible if like someone's really focused on fishing and then they bring a partner along that

12:26.640 --> 12:29.840
Like if they don't match the energy, I mean, can can that work?

12:30.000 --> 12:30.960
I think so

12:30.960 --> 12:35.840
I think so I think you can still like I've been in relationships where I still fish a lot and they maybe haven't

12:36.400 --> 12:38.400
And it can still work just fine. Like

12:39.040 --> 12:41.600
It might not mean that you're doing it as much as you did before

12:42.240 --> 12:45.040
But if you truly care about them that much like you can still work through that

12:45.040 --> 12:47.040
I think and sometimes maybe they

12:47.600 --> 12:51.920
Just haven't gotten the opportunity to fish yet and you bring them along and maybe they actually like it that can happen too

12:52.000 --> 12:54.880
So it's spreading the gospel officially for sure for sure

12:55.520 --> 12:58.000
So a question for you. Do you have

12:58.640 --> 13:02.080
pictures of yourself where you're not holding a fish and you're smiling

13:02.960 --> 13:07.840
A few a few some of those I might be might or might not be sitting behind a deer

13:08.320 --> 13:10.240
Which whether that's the same thing or not

13:10.800 --> 13:13.040
Up to the first I do have some but not a tug

13:13.280 --> 13:17.600
I would say like 90% of the pictures of myself are either with an animal or a fish

13:19.120 --> 13:21.040
And that's where your biggest smiles are gonna cover

13:21.040 --> 13:26.480
Oh 100% 100% I would say the ones that don't are like me with family or me with significant other

13:26.480 --> 13:31.360
And it's just us as people but like just myself. I don't have a ton of pictures of just me

13:31.520 --> 13:34.960
All right, so if you're with a picture of your girlfriend, are you smiling? Yeah

13:35.520 --> 13:38.480
As big as when you're holding a big fish. Absolutely

13:39.440 --> 13:41.440
Absolutely

13:41.600 --> 13:43.600
I could yeah, I could

13:44.640 --> 13:46.320
All right, um

13:46.320 --> 13:48.960
In terms of like the the broader community

13:49.200 --> 13:54.320
Do you do guys ever girls or ever come up to you and ask like why do guys put so many fish picks on there?

13:54.400 --> 13:59.280
What what should I worry about if I see all these? I've never had anyone ask me that I think

14:00.480 --> 14:03.360
I don't know it might just be a difference in like guys for girls like

14:03.840 --> 14:08.400
I think girls maybe are more open the or more wanting to take pictures of just themselves doing other things

14:08.960 --> 14:11.200
At least for me like that's not a huge I'm not a huge picture

14:11.840 --> 14:17.040
First none like other things like that are not a oh I caught it. This awesome fish or I got this awesome deer or whatever

14:18.160 --> 14:20.640
But it's not something I've ever been asked about

14:21.200 --> 14:25.280
So I don't know for sure and that I guess that is probably the truth about a lot of guys

14:25.600 --> 14:29.440
That's what they're taking pictures of then that's going to make up the most of the pictures

14:29.440 --> 14:31.840
They have if they could say this is who I am. Yeah, yeah

14:31.840 --> 14:34.560
I would say so for sure and those are the two of the things that I'm most passionate about

14:34.560 --> 14:37.040

15:14.000 --> 15:20.080
So there it's going to be awkward but we're just going to count to like 10 more seconds then we got a good shot of it

15:23.680 --> 15:29.440
