If you find a high degree of fulfillment in fishing, then it's worth it. If fishing fills a spiritual void, it's worth it. If fishing defines you - like it does some - then it's worth it.
It's very possible that fishing won't do it for you - that you'll pass through fishing after a time and find that while you enjoy it - it's just a pastime.
Truth is, for most people, fishing is just fishing. They take it and practice it on face value. There is nothing wrong with being a more casual fisherman. Everything does not have to be over-the-top. It's possible to have a girl and go fishing. I'd think carefully before I tossed a twenty something year-old woman out in favor of a stinky fish - particularly so close to the end of the season.
