Who takes a bit of time out of your schedule to go fishing?

I fish in my neighbors farm pond in Southern Illinois. It was virtually untouched for about 10 years and has a thriving ecosystem now with exceptionally large fish. I catch 3-4 pound largemouth bass, foot long crappies, foot long blugills and sunfish (not the ocean kind, just clarifying since you live in florida, little panfish) and some newly introuduced catfish that are pretty small at about 8" long. There used to be grass carp but they all died out- before i got to fish there :( -and there are dogfish that i have seen swimming in the very shallow water along the bank, but they have always eluded me with rod and reel.
I take about 2-8 hours out of my days in the summer; i'm still in school, and as much as i can fish in the fall and spring, i do, but because of homework, etc. i can't as much during those times.
Thanks,
