Nope.

Nice picture.

Same

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.

Hell yes it's a sport

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!

it is unless yer fishin' fer yer golf balls...

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

That beer's gonna get hot real fast.

sure it's a sport you ever get a gill plate in the hand it hurts like hell

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

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

LOL, what the hell is that from??

Is that real?

SVT it is indeed real, and its a trophy from a golf tourney there was buncha shit made about that when it was taken earlier this year since the trophy looks rather like a um well you know :)

A phallus ?

:p

... we're talking about golf?

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.

Last week on the Dan PAtrick radio show they were talking about some video where guys fish with thier bare hands. They hold the bait in thier hand or something and then the bass swallow the guys fist and they pull them into the boat. Now is that sport or some drunken amusement?:crazy:

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!

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*

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
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.

There would have to be some liquor involved to get me to try that.

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.

That's my motto for most sports... ;)

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.

Is golf not a sport, then?
