Is fishing a sport or only a kind of leasure time hobby ?
Many people say that fishing is a kind of sport; but if we see thoroughly from the way of doing this such activities, many others reject the opinion.
A quick look at the whether or not fishing can be considered a sport. read more
It's a way to get some good lean meat for the dinner table . That said, it's also a great time to relax, enjoy the quiet, the fresh air, the sunshine...definitely a leisure activity for me. While I love to eat fish, the food is pretty much just a great way to justify taking an entire day in the mountains. That said, I'd say that the way some people do it is definitely a sport -- some are in it for the competitive aspect, trying to snag the largest, most difficult fish just to be able to say they can.
I think it has to be a sport, it combines skill with athletic abilities, not always apparent when you're into the tiddlers, but a 30+lb pike, or steering a 40+lb carp away from the lilies and reeds, or 100+lb shark soon makes it athletic.
It depends on how you look at it. For some people this is a hobby that has gradually turned into sport. There are fishing championships and tournaments which are very interesting to watch. I think that for majority of people fishing is a hooby.

What is your favorite kind of food? Ex. Would you choose Chinese, Mexican, American, etc?What portion of the world makes the kind of food that you tend to like the most? You can even go regional on this one, like the Southern United States for instance.
