Looking for cool goals that aren’t unachievable for a beginner. Only ever fished lake shores and river shores – based in Illinois. Usually fish with live bait and catch bluegill, sunfish, drum and catfish.
I hope the ‘catch my own dinner’ one isn’t too controversial on here – I’ve never killed a fish I’ve caught (deliberately, that I’m aware of) and it’s not something I’m really interested in – I just want to do it at least once.
Hit me up with some cool ideas!

Killing and eating fish is not controversial amongst fishermen.
I would add some that involve traveling:
Go on a deep sea multiple day tuna voyage
Catch a sturgeon
Catch a shark
Just make sure to do some research on fish health if you’re gonna eat it. Lots of pollution out there in waterways
Catch a 10lb bass
Catch something without using a fishing rod
Catch something on a homemade lure
Bow fish
Spear fishing while SNORKELING?!?!?
Fish in a new country
Fish in a new
Teach someone else to fish
Have you already caught something on topwater?
Fly fishing
Fish saltwater. I was a freshwater-only fisherman until two years ago. My first Striped Bass changed that forever. If you want another experience, fish the surf rather than off a dock/pier. The environment with the wind and waves adds another dimension to the sport.
Add a 6ft gar fish to this list. You’ll love the ride!!
