No it is more important than that.
Yes I do it only for the amusement.
Some times its a sport, sometimes its no fun at all.
This is silly what are you on about.

Ahhh but we do go squidding ( Cephlapoding) ...Nagg
Well! what a topic guys!, I must say, I often think about this and the urge to fish. And also, there is a large element of non thinking...it just comes instinctively.
To fishing being a sport? well some do, but i say nay. When not fishing for a meal, I am practicing for my next meal....
It is hunting and and being able to provide in the event that this modern society collapses around us. It in our dna to be hunters.
That being said, its not all about the catching, its the sharing of techiniques, its the zen of rigging your gear, its finding beautiful parts of nature....and being alone and with others, its understanding the rhythms and cycles and nature.
Two quotes I live by are....
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
Henry David Thoreau
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.
John Buchan
That is why I fish...
