Nope.

Only people who don't think it's a sport, are the people that have never fly fished, or have any clue how to fish. =/
Ignorance is bliss, I guess. Nice Picture. |
|
even without the pics, i think it'd be a sport. i take a very liberal approach to the word sport though.
it takes skill to fish doesnt it? doesnt it take strength to throw the thing in the water? obviously, i dont konw much about fishing. |
If you're talkin' about the thing in the picture it might be a bit fishy but I don't think I'd throw it in the water.
|
I think the jury is still out on sport or not, but I know how hard it is to land one like in the pictures! Keepers.
|
Fishing is not a sport, except for the fish.
Hey, I'm not kidding. Think about it. People do go sport fishing. Thanks for listening. |
For some a sport, for many around the world a requirement to survive!

Define 'sport'
My definition: When your opponent's action directly influences your action. Example: Baseball - the pitcher's pitch influences your swing; Football - your opponents play influences your play; Fishing - no |
that's a pretty nice definition there. nascar = sport by that too. :D

i go fishing quite a bit and i think of it as a leisure activity i did have my pole fall in once and some friends went in after it for me
http://www.boomspeed.com/montanaxvi/pic09565.jpg we had fun |
me too fell in the water many times casting is hard work if you lean too far forward in you go
|
Well i don't think that fishing is a sport... more like a pass time, like masterbation.
Nice pics |

Wait, doesn't the type of fish or location determine the bait, or lure, or whatever?:lol: |
Only if you kill the fish with your bare hands, you know, get in the water and fistfight a tuna or something. That's be a cool sport.

It is called noodling - there is no bait involved - you reach into holes and under overhangs and grab them with your bare hands - usually done for catfish and can be very dangerous! http://espn.go.com/outdoors/general/...h/1336494.html |
I saw that noodling documentary a year or so ago on TV. It was really interesting. The people were definately half crazy.

"If you can't get your nose broke in it, dammit, it ain't a sport!"
--Tim Wilson on Golf. I think it's appropriate here as well. *likes fishing* |

now THIS sounds like a hoot. You gotta admit it, this mode of fishing takes a bit more commitment than standing there on the bank or in a boat with a rod in your hand, all dry.... |
After seeing some of those pics I might have to start fishing again.

I feel fishing is a sport. It's me against them and they tend to do more "winning" than I do catching. I use single barbless hooks and always release the fish. |

hah i never considered it a sport... but now im gonna start playing it ;)
|
what the hell did I start...??? xoxoxoo
|
definatly a sport.. if u catch a big one it can become really exhausting
|
Fishing takes a lot of skill and patience, however it is not a sport because it does not require more than one person.
