Some people consider bass fishing a sport, but for most fishermen it’s a lifestyle. People have been bass fishing since the beginning of time for different reasons. Bass fishing has evolved over the years from using a sapling and some string to the high tech rod and reel technology, as well as sonar fish-finders. For modern day fisherman fishing is a lifestyle that may require a wealth of money depending on what kind of bass fishing someone wants to do. People will less wealth just fish from the bank, but for the luckier individuals that are able to own a boat, fishing is easier, and more fun.

The only time I could say that you actually try to “hunt” fish is when you are bowfishing. Bowfishing is done at night most of the time on a boat that has spot lights on it. This something that is way different than duck hunting because you don’t hunt ducks at night or with a bow. There are more than just those differences. You can duck hunt for only a certain time of year; but you can fish year around.

If a so-called sport does not include those things, does that make it not a sport? Here is my criteria for a sport: if it is in the Olympics, it is a sport.

Fly fishing is not a mere sport or hobby, but it has become a passion that it rooted so deep in West Virginia culture that it has become a way of life (Bailey). When I first heard of fly fishing, I disregarded the subject as an old-fashioned type of fishing that has been outdated by modern technological equipment that allow you to reach every corner of the stream. Little did I know, this is not the case. JD Bailey is a local fisherman in Bridgeport, West Virginia that spent years mastering the art of fly fishing and I was lucky enough to get insight information from this valuable asset to keep the tradition of fly fishing in West Virginia alive.

A sport is defined as an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. There are many different national and international associations and organizations that hold their own standard to what can be considered a sport, but they are all similar: if it involves physical activity and competitions. Cheerleading does, in fact, fit underneath

Going along the idea about animal involvement this brings me to another sport on the list I questioned, noodling. This particular activity would in a sense be considered hunting but however, the means at which the animal is captured is vastly different. This type of hunting is focused on capturing catfish in a very peculiar fashion. The athlete essentially coats his arm in chum then sticks it underwater waiting for a nibble. The catfish generally come and engulf the person’s entire arm thus successfully capturing a catfish. One of the main reasons why I would not classify this as a sport is because it is a very unskilled form

Would you say golf is a sport? What makes people say it's it a sport? People say anyone can play golf. It's a game everyone can play.

I say that golf is a sport because people put a lot of effort in to golf and you're outside for a really long time.

Fishing has been around for a really long time and there is more history that can be found concerning fishing, than there is the vast amount fish that are in the ocean at any given minute. I might be stretching it a bit, but that sure is a lot of history! When you hear the word “fishing” tons and tons of thoughts or imaginations might be going through your mind. Maybe you’re thinking of all the good times you had with your family members catching fish on a boat or how much you love for your favorite, tasty salmon salad to quench your watering mouth. I think of their terrible stench and how they make my gagging reflexes shoot through the roof! Throughout the years of fishing history, there has been good ways of fishing and not so good ways of

Fishing is an activity I have enjoyed doing ever since I was a little kid. In fact, one of my first fishing voyages was with my grandpa when I was about eight years old. He was an avid fisherman who went fishing almost every day and knew everything there was to know about fishing. Grandpa got me hooked on fishing. After Grandpa died, my dad picked up where Grandpa left off. We had a pontoon, and Dad took my brothers and me fishing whenever we had the chance. To this day, I still love fishing just as much as I had on my first fishing trip with my grandpa. Many people enjoy hobbies that are relaxing and peaceful, and others prefer exhilarating activities that never have a dull moment. I enjoy fishing because it has some of both.

A sport is defined as an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. Competitive.
