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

Not a sport...
If you are gaining weight, then you aren't doing enough of it.
Think of it as a hobby, like hiking or cycling. It's not that it is or isn't extreme, but more of how you feel when doing it.
My mind is always at it's clearest when surfcasting in the canal in the early morning hours. An added plus is the potential to see some of the most spectacular sunsets, sunrises and meteor showers in your life.
