No, you just have to be wading in a cold stream early in the morning when the mist rises off the water and you see several large trout cruising feet from you...you cast out ahead and wait...the bait slowly drifts to the bottom and right in front of the fish...the adrenaline starts and wham!! he bites and the fight is on! Or watching a huge sailfish come coursing through the water after the bait...splashing and diving in the water...just awesome...Or running accross a school of hungry catfish late at night fishing with friends and some beers...or listening to the sound of the ocean while you fish from the beach... mesmerizing...what more could you ask for? BTW I eat the fish I catch..
guys, i'm tellin ya...you wouldn't be fishing. the streams and lakes would be bulldozed to make way for new high rise condos. and the clean, fresh, clear springs and streams that aren't buried would be dammed up and locked away from the public so they couldn't contaminate it. the oceans would be so filthy that the smell alone would keep you from fishing for too long (besides, you definitely wouldn't want to eat the crap you'd catch). all of our fresh water would be processed, treated and bottled before the general public even got to see it.
i'm tellin ya, life would suck
