[edit] The truth
This section may contain pseudoscience, weasel words, or unverified claims. Proceed with caution.
Fishing is the most boring, soul destroying, mindless, brain numbing, idle diversion known to humanity. Alternatively it is like hunting. It was originally a necessity for feeding the family back home, but has evolved into a means for the male human to avoid the female human, excuse him from any tasks which she might have for him to do over the weekend, allowing him to sit in a boat and drink beer all day instead. Anglers (as the perpetrators of this diversion like to name themselves) often claim to be combating the intelligence of the fish. If an animal with a brain the size of a pea is their best chance of winning, then - so be it!
[edit] The real truth
Somebody's just jealous. [1] And hunting is a fun thing to do on teh weekend too.
