But have you tried it? don't you catch different fishies?
No. You catch zero fishies. I've gone fishing dozens of times and I've caught maybe two or three fish in my lifetime, all of which have been little tiny forgeters that aren't satisfying at all.
It sure as hell requires a stuffton of patience. Something about sitting on a boat for an hour with my line sitting in the water just doesn't do it for me, it feels like such an immense waste of time. Maybe if I was doing something productive while I was fishing it might be more enjoyable, but at that point it wouldn't really be fishing, it'd be doing something else while waiting.
