Fishing – The Best Hobby – sometimes just one word is enough to make me nauseous. Look at the definition of the word: work – effort exerted to do or make something; work, labor. That's not exactly the definition of fun. Okay, the work given isn't always horrible. Many people enjoy their work, and work can even be fun. But for the most part, we all know we'd rather be doing something other than working. Luckily for us, we don't work all the time. No, we sleep, eat, drink and have fun. How can we have fun? Well, some of us might enjoy eating or drinking, sometimes a little too often. Others of us may have fun spending time with our companions or family, but usually when we think about having fun, we actually think about doing something: playing a game, reading a book, going swim, anything. We call these ways of having fun our hobbies. There are most likely endless hobbies. Who knows how many different ways there are for people to have fun. When it comes to me and my hobbies, however, there is one in particular that stands out above the rest. Fishing is definitely the best way to have fun. Fishing is the best hobby ever. Why am I so excited about fishing? Why am I so sure this is my favorite hobby? While I could go on and on about the joys of fishing, there are three main reasons why I think it's so great. They think it's a relatively inexpensive hobby, very easy, and most importantly, there are so many ways and so many people can have fun doing it. Fishing is cheap. If you've ever looked at a bait and fishing tackle magazine, you might be thinking, yeah, that's true. You know, you've looked in one of those magazines and seen rods and reels that cost over a thousand dollars and lures that cost over twenty dollars, just for one lure. If you think that, then you are right. If you want to fish with professional-grade equipment, you're going to spend that kind of money. But that’s true for any hobby; professional grade equipment is going to be very expensive. An official major league baseball, identical to those used in games, costs more than ten dollars. When was the last time any of you went out and spent ten dollars on a baseball to play catch with. No, I'm not talking about being a professional fisherman; Of course, it's not cheap. W...... middle of paper ...... we have as much fun getting in the boat as we do catching fish. Another person might think about fishing from a boat, but the ideal fishing trip for that person might be floating in a canoe on a country river. Believe it or not, fishing can even be fun for people petrified of water. Some of the largest fish ever caught hang on river banks, fishing piers or bridges, without the fisherman getting a single toe wet. This is why fishing is so great, and I'm not even going to bother comparing it to any other hobby, because there is no one like it. No, there is no other hobby that can be enjoyed by so many people, in so many places and for so many reasons. As I said before, there are an infinite number of hobbies that people have and it is very unlikely that fishing is your favorite pastime. . I'm sure you can spit in my face any number of reasons why your hobby is so awesome, and you.
