But heck, you can catch a fish with a hook and string tied around an old water bottle.3) \u00a0Fishing is more relaxingA nice quiet lake, cold beverage in hand, and a bobber floating on the surface . . . ’nuff said.4) \u00a0Anyone can participatePhysical requirements are far less when it comes to wetting a line compared to hunting.\u00a0 Not to mention, there\u2019s no age limit, so any toddler or grandparent can enjoy it just as much.\u00a0 Also, it can be a family affair or guys week on the water.5) \u00a0Most waters are public, most land is privatePublic waters make it easy for the public to enjoy.\u00a0 Private lands make it difficult to find a place to hunt.6) \u00a0You can fish for multiple species in one water bodyBesides a few states like Montana or Wyoming, hunting multiple big game species usually requires a lot of applying, travelling, and money.\u00a0 In comparison, there\u2019s usually at minimum three different fish species you could be after in any given water.7) \u00a0The weather is nicerIt\u2019s not just a summer time activity for some, but it is for a lot of people . . . so get your tan on!8) \u00a0You just gotta know the right personIf you\u2019ve got the right friends, all you gotta do is stay in their good graces and they\u2019ll provide the boat, rods, and even the tackle. \u00a0If they’ve got a boat, it means you don’t need one.9) \u00a0Shore lunchIt doesn\u2019t get much better than cooking up some of the day’s catch battered with the\u00a0best seasonings on a hot cast iron griddle while you soak a line and wait for more.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve had many hot venison meals while I\u2019m actually hunting.10) \u00a0Scent control\u2026no such thingYou mean I don\u2019t have to shower, spray down, get dressed in the boat, or watch what direction the wind is coming from to catch a lot of fish?\u00a0– Bonus Point –\u00a011) \u00a0It\u2019s easier to make your fish look bigGo ahead, be sure to really long arm that fish.\u00a0 After all, fishing is the one sport where lying is accepted and expected."},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Legendary Whitetail's Blog"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/blog\/10-reasons-fishing-is-better-than-hunting-wait-what\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"10 Reasons Fishing is Better Than Hunting…wait, what?"}}]}]
