I actually find the 'fish' references quite annoying on here. It implies that someone who is a 'minnow' for example has less of an opinion or worth less than someone who is a 'whale'.
I do like your fishing analogy though, seems quite apt ! I'll go for the beer and a joint option :-)
To be fair, @steemnova has been the best thing about steem so far. ;)
Same ! I earn more playing Nova than I do writing articles. And Nova is more fun :-)
