People have been fishing on this Earth since earliest times. The first fishermen caught fish with their bare hands, and later with spears, nets, crude hooks and lines. But they caught fish for food. It is only in the last few hundred years that fishing has become a sport. Fish are still caught for food; but millions of people all over the world are now fishing just for fun. Fishing is easily the most popular participation sport in this country, with more than 25 million devotees.
It is exciting to see a big fish swimming in the water, then watch as he comes up and takes your bait or lure. The strike, the leap of a hooked fish, the run in which line is taken off the reel at great speed, the battle to land a large fish you have hooked – all these experiences are tremendously stirring when your fish is powerful or cunning.
Although luck plays a part in fishing, there is also a great deal of skill and knowledge involved. In the long run, the person who catches the most fish is the one who knows what fishing tackle to use, which lure or baits are best and how to present them, where to find the fish and how to go after them. But nobody ever becomes perfect at fishing: there is always something new to learn.
