Some people gravitate towards fishing and the outdoors as part of a larger spiritual journey that they may not be fully aware that they are on until much later. They may simply pass through fishing on their way to another, as-yet-unknown destination.
Other people may be dissatisfied with their lives on many levels - fishing for them is a form of escape from their daily existence. Not every mid-life crisis manifests itself in a trip to the Corvette dealership and a younger woman. Some guys give up living, but remain alive, having long ago made a tactical withdrawal from those around them or the notion that change could ever be positive. There are others with professional lives that have been a disappointment and for whom fishing has become how they define themselves. Still many others who put on a happy face, but just below the surface they are bitter and consumed with regret, having now realized they will most likely leave this life without a legacy or having made any mark of significance.
