Angling is a hobby of mine.
I really enjoy fishing.
It is very relaxing to be by the water, out in the nature and the fresh air - and of course being with some good friends who also happens to enjoy this hobby, just being there relaxing and having a good time.
Usually I'm using a spinning rod, but I also have a fly rod - fly fishing is a technically demanding but very interesting method.
Most of the time fishing is spent on the coast.
I am practicing this hobby in the true manner of sports fishing. That means that I'm not just there to get some food.
Of course I really enjoy catching fish, but it is the fighting I like. If I don't want to keep the fish (e.g. because it is too small or I have enough) I'm releasing it as quickly as possible without doing it any unnecessary harm. But if I want to keep it I'm putting it to sleep as quickly and painless as possible - just a quick blow to the back of the head (killing it or at least knocking it unconscious) and a cut in the gill artery draining out the blood.
Of course we have to treat the fishes humane and only take what we need.
