Why do you do it?

Ever thought about becoming a commercial fisherman? you would make tons of money.

Fishing is not easy, if it was, it wouldn't be called fishing. I'm happy getting skunked some days.

lol big game fishing isn't anyways. I've tried for yellows several times, and blanked on them every time. Fortunately the Calicos and Greenies were always there to entertain me.

I like to fish for some of the following reasons:

1. I get to either be by myself and chill out or with friends and chat away
2. I get both excercise and some fresh air
3. It's a good change of pace for me. My personal activities are usually Brazilian jiu-jitsu related or martial arts, mma related so it can get boring or feel like a grind instead of fun sometimes.
4. I get to feed my OCD
5. I get to hang out with people that are not related to business, martial arts etc.
6. I get to have a beer in silence and occasionally get to catch a fish.
