Fishing Spoils Baseball as Nation's Real Pastime
A government survey shows one in four men and one in eleven women favor fishing over baseball. U S Fish and Wildlife Service notes anglers travel 18 billion miles on 341 million trips, spend two billion dollars, and generate high consumer interest with fishing kits and gear. Atlantic Lures president Nahigian estimates 40 million fishing enthusiasts plus 10 million kids under 16 and 8 to 9 million saltwater fishers without licenses. He argues fish senses and vocalizations belie the stereotype of dumb fish, though many still dislike the species.
