Fishing
As a kid, i used to love fishing, but now that i've gotten older, I don't see the interest behind fishing. Yeah, i get told many times by people that, oh fishing is so much fun, how can you hate it, that's like hating puppies. Someone has actually said that to me. I don't know how some people can sit in a boat for multiple hours, in one spot, and just sit there. I do not have the attention span to just sit there, I need to be doing something. Yeah it's fun when you eventually catch a fish, but how often do you catch something, like one every hour? Not my idea oh a good time. The worst is when you snag your line on a rock or weeds, and then spend 15 minutes trying to get it unstuck, but can't, so you have to cut the line. Also, my dad is one of those "wake up at the crack of dawn" kinda guys, and I don't do that. I need at least eight hours of sleep to not be tired as shit, and the last thing I want to do when tired is go out in the freezing morning, sit in a boat, and go fishing. Worms are disgusting, I don't care if i'm a wuss. I'll use minnows (tiny little fish) but I hate to use worms. They just wiggle around and feel really weird, I hate them. Lastly, the part i hate the most, cutting and cleaning the fish. First time I saw my dad cutting a fish, I nearly puked. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever seen, and I was nine. My dad tried to make me do it many years later, but i made one cut and couldn't do it, it is just so gross. That's why I stopped fishing.

At this age , I have thought about fishing, and would actually like to experience it again. I remember when I was a kid my family and friends got together and we all went to a lake, that I cannot recall , because I was young, but it was fun. I am more outdoors nature kind of girl, so fishing would not be as bad for me as how you put it when in comparison to yourself. Sure it's a hobby needing patience, but some really like the sound of silence and the water underneath and beyond them because it does relax them.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes like fishing but off a dock just for some fun competition, but otherwise I don't fish. I don't like hurting the fish by putting a hook through their mouth and sometimes their eye. Even though I might rarely fish I still get my dad to put the worm on and take the fish off the hook. The whole bit of fishing with the slimy stuff and fish smell is not attractive. I completely understand not liking fishing.
ReplyDeleteI used to fish with my dad, but we never caught anything. We always ended up going to a store and getting fish, but I don't like eating fish either. The part of fishing that I like is just being on the water and looking at the scenery it's relaxing and beautiful. I just liked getting out of the city. Now I don't fish anymore but I have been a part of the KCI Rowing Club for a few years and it's not the same as fishing but it's still relaxing and beautiful.
