IS FISHING BORING? (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Fishing is boring! What sports angler doesn’t know this short, exclamation mark-laden statement that can only come from a complete ignoramus? Coming from a person who has only seen a fish cut into squares on a plate or eaten it from a crimped tin can? An angler would start feeling a bit pitiful if he had to listen to this statement from your average Joe. They are words that hit hard and deep into the core of an angler’s soul like a whiplash. His second thought would be to decide whether it’s worth it to give a convincing speech in favor of sport fishing or if he should just shrug his shoulders and leave it at that. In this book, which poses this statement as a question, the experienced sports fan now has the alternative of convincing negative fishing ignoramuses of the opposite. It also awakes curiosity in people, who have not been exposed to sport fishing yet, but who still feel drawn to the water and perhaps occasionally look over an angler’s shoulder. “Is fishing really boring or is there something more to practicing this water sport?” Experienced anglers will be curious as to what sort of response the author has probably come up with. In a series of short chapters leading up to an overall reflection, newcomers will be introduced to what sports fishing is really all about. The “old-timers” among anglers will make mental comparisons to their own careers, and at one point or another, will find concurrences that will make them smile since this book tells true stories of a sport angler’s experience with a little bit of humor and self-irony.
