I love fishing, do you like to fish?
I haven't been fishing in years, which is the activity of catching fish.
I live on a lake so I try to go as much as I can. I like to catch bass and catfish mainly.
Nice, techniques to catch fish incllude hand gathering, netting, spearing, angling and trapping.
I've never tried some of those, I'll have to look into it. I really like bow-fishing.
Cool, is that like fly fishing where a artificial "fly" is used to catch fish?
Somewhat but you use a bow and arrow to shoot the fish instead of waiting for them to bite your baited hook.
Oh now I get it. Fishing was a pre-historic practice dating back over 40,000 years.
I wonder what they used for fishing line and bait back then?
