random mentalist. asked:
walk for mile on end to get to a spot all year round all day and night, spend thousands off pounds on tackle and get wet feet, all to just catch a fish. this is origanaly an age old question that i once read in one of my dads fishing books.

u just dissed all fisherman.
Because we are hunters. It is in our genes. Also we feel at one with nature-with the anticipation of a bite spicing things up.
Do you eat the fish you catch? if so there is your answer, if not i have no idea
Because we are always hoping to catch that big one. It can also be relaxing and is sometimes very rewarding.
.. or to get away from ‘her indoors’
You are a hunter, it`s in the genes. Also a lover of peace and quiet and the countryside.
Tight lines.
If you have to ask, then you are not a fisherman. Catching fish is not important (although it does help!), but being there to test your skills and enjoying the surroundings (in rain or shine) is what it is all about.

As someone once said
“The Best days working will never equal the worse days fishing and hunting”
And I think sportsmen/women around the world will agree
I catch plenty of fish and I don’t do any of that cause I am the TEXAS fisherman YEE HAWW
We are eternal optimist. We always feel that a monster fish could bite at any minute.
Because if it was easy and pleasant, then every one would be doing it. This way, it’s easier to keep the joy of fishing secret.
simply put its the best
because we are mad but we love it
Because we need to feed a hunger within us.A hunger for being out in the country,for escaping from the noise, regardless of the weather.We really are at one with nature.I personally crave the solitude fishing gives me;I am away from everything and everybody.I can totally switch off and just enjoy the peace;whether I am fishing my local canal or sitting on the rocks by the sea in Cornwall,or anywhere else round the coast.I have spent many a wet,cold day tramping round Lincolnshire,weighed down with tackle,just to try and land that ‘monster’ Pike.Only to go home dejected at not having caught anything;but knowing I would return again and again.
Once it’s in your blood,you are infected for life; there is no antidote.And if there was one,we wouldn’t take it…would we?
If you have ever heard the drag on your reel scream as a fish races off for cover you would understand. Nothing much beats the excitement generated by this.
Take it from an old **** ~ the love of it

Thats a simple answer,When we have a bad case of fish fever, it tends to give you the same simptons of mild mental retardation, our brains just don’t tell us that under no surrcumstances would we go through these conditions other than FISHING!!!!!!!!.
It beats sittin’ at the bowling alley swilling beer. (lol)
because its what real fishermen (or women) do. they dont care what the conditions are or how far they have to travel to get there. they know they’re goin to do something they love and nothing is going to stop them. and for asking that question, i doubt that you’re a real fisherman.
