I really don¡¯t know why fishing is so popular. It¡¯s one of the best-loved hobbies all over the world. Anywhere there¡¯s a pond, a river, a lake or sea, you see people fishing. I¡¯ve only been fishing twice and I thought it was boring. I didn¡¯t catch any fish. Even if I had caught a fish, I don¡¯t think I would have been excited. To me, sitting next to a river waiting for something to happen is strange. I know lots of people who love fishing. They even get up at four o¡¯clock in the morning in the winter to sit in the freezing cold. They say the best time to fish is before the sun comes up. I say they¡¯re crazy. Big game fishing looks good. I like the idea of cruising on a boat near Hawaii looking for giant fish.
