Fishing is not just about sitting around on a boat waiting for a fish to fall for your bait. There's more to the activity than meets the eye, and here are some reasons you should get up off your couch and go fish:  

Social bonding

Whether you go fishing with your family or your friends, fishing is a hobby that helps set for bonding time and relaxed but fun social interaction. Sitting around and waiting for a catch can be an ideal time to catch up with family and friends and enjoy a good laugh.

Thrill

To some people, the wait might be boring or uneventful but those who love to fish know of the anticipation and the thrill of waiting patiently for the catch and the excitement of finally getting that fish.

Good health

Fishing is good exercise. Unlike running, it allows for low impact movement and still helping to keep you fit. Besides, breathing fresh air and doing a little hike can contribute to improving your overall physical health.

Relaxing

Fishing is mostly a passive activity, allowing your mind to calm down and wander. The fresh air and sunlight can also help your brain relax and focus on a single task.
