Fishing isn't a sport if you can gain weight while doing it

Not a sport...
As for extreme sport it really isn't
What it is to me is a great way to clear the mind relax and have a great time....
How many people do you think that don't do what we do have watched the sunrise over the ocean as many times as we have...
One of my friends was shocked that there were seals off of plum island had to drive out to show him....
to me surfcasting is more a way of life. A great way to enrich us with natural beauty and good tasty fish....
while some of you would say you still work up a sweat bringing in a #40 or getting out to your favorite spot its still not a sport
