I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

I see it as an addiction like gambling. You put in some time but don't always win. That causes a bigger positive feedback for when you do win.
Then the win is a delicious fish and you're hooked.
And therein lies the catch. I don't like fish.
Y'all don't need to eat them. I have a friend that is a avid fisherman, he doesn't like to eat fish. But he loves to go fishing and catch and release them. He even enters into fishing tournaments a couple of times a year.
Yeah sure but you're missing my whole point. I do not see the appeal in fishing. I think it is boring and also you get nothing out of the activity if you don't like fish.
Then you have missed the point of fishing and generally being a part of nature. Which differs greatly from simply being out in nature.
Yes I do not see a point in fishing that is correct. I do however like being in anture and being part of it.
I think there's SOME element of truth to this, but there's a lotta skill that can be applied to fishing. Also, most days I don't even get a nibble but it doesn't bother me. I just enjoy getting on the water and soaking up some sun in beautiful scenery. I'll fish less "productive" waters for a nicer view.
That said, the other week I "caught" a lure I lost last season and that was a bigger rush than some fish I've landed.
Ayyyy
