Why do we Fish?

[HennieS]

I was contemplating where I should put this thread but eventually decided to stick to the bass forum as that is what I love doing. Bass fishing is the sport that educated me what fishing is all about and why I love doing it. I thought this time of the year it will be good to reflect on why we get addicted to this sport! And why do we spend an absolute fortune doing it.

I do Bass fishing because occasionaly I catch a fish that gives me a lot of joy! It is not necesarly the biggest but most cetainly every fish is special!

I do this sport because I get oppertunity to spend time with friends and most of the time I make new friends!

I do this sport because I get the oppertunity to be naughty without being rude or offend anybody!

I do this sport because I get the oppertunity to have a drink with good friends!

I do this sport because I get the oppertunity to enjoy Nature to it's fullest!

I do this sport because I get the oppertunity to learn with each trip and I also get the oppertunity to educate and share my knowledge with other!!

Let me know why you love this sport!!

Not a big bass fisherman myself but what keeps ME in "the game" is enjoying the blessings that God has given me and all of us here in South Africa and getting to partake in that. It makes me appreciate the simple things. Keeps me humble.

i think another reason why we fish is to brag with our big fish and to tell the story over and over again

Much like everyone else it is great to get out. I am only starting to get into the sport, bought a couple of Kayaks to get fit but my son packs the rods in before I even have the roofracks on the car.

Then there are the thousands of Moments not all big but like this morning he hooked his first couple of Bass off the Kayaks.

I have to admit, even though the intention is to go do a couple of laps around the Dam even if it means towing my son most of the time one just cannot help enjoying a few moments just drifting along with a bait in the water.

Soon the kayaks will be fitted with rodholders, tackle boxes, achors etc etc.  Welcome to this addiction.
