I used to go fishing when I was a kid. Havent bothered since as UK fish are nearly extinct, weak and lethargic and spend their whole lives swimming in shit and little kid's wee.
If I go on holiday to Florida, St Lucia or similar I always get out fishing as they have mean fighting fish that want to rip your arms off.
Not in the Maldives though, those fish are too friendly to stick a hook in. Other than the little bastard that bit me on the tit
