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

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.
