Bridge fishing....not extreme
Skishing....EXTREME (and a lot of fun)
Beach fishing....not extreme
Wade Fishing...not extreme
Extreme Wading....fishing horshoe Bar in Barnstable etc....EXTREME
Jetty Fishing...not extreme
Rock Hopping...coulld...Ok EXTREME

BP - to take that a little farther. Beach Fishing - not extreme
Take an average person and show them Wasque Point at 2 am.4X4s with 10 rods on top, huge coolers welded to the front of the trucks, guys suited up in all kinds of rubber gear......to 99.9% of the population that is wacked. I mean having a vehicle outfitted just for the sole purpose of....catching a fish? sounds like an extreme sport to me |

The wetsuiters and skiishers are extreme. The rockhoppers and all nighters are midstreme, and the daytime baitdunkers are weakstreme. SO, it varies I guess.

Sometimes I stay out all night rockhopping, I do drag bait out with my kayak alot during the day in the Summer, but I don't skiish or wetsuit, so I would say I'm mid to weak stremed.  |

If one is a careless, hapless, fool......one might consider that individual an extreme fisherman!

Like anything its all relative. "Extreme sports" is just a buzzword created by the media to sensationalize things, and the X-games are an extension of that. One man's extremes are another's comfort zone. I spent many years in Vermont and Colorado skiing everyday possible and doing it in a way that some might consider extreme, but no one who participates in what ESPN would call an extreme sport ever refers to it as that, unless they're a wanker or full of crap. I certainly wouldn't consider skateboarding extreme, especially compared to something like climbing K2. And when I hear about guys donning wetsuits and swimming to rocks to surfcast, that is definitely something that is out of my comfort zone and that I consider a little crazy, but to the guys that do that sort of thing regularly, its just fishing. It's all relative to your personal experience, so why worry about giving it a label. Just my $.02.  |
