Lowrance Elite 7 TI
Fishing can be done at a leisure or competitive level. Competitive fishing was thought up when a fisherman was at a basketball game and wondered why fishing wasn't done at a competitive level, the way basketball is. It is actually the 4th most popular sport in the United States. An estimated 40 million Americans fish for the sport which is higher than golf in America. It is also not as straightforward as just catching the biggest fish either. There are several factors that go into competitive fishing like the type of fish, the strength of the fishing line used and the areas that the fishermen are fishing in. It also can be done online, oddly enough. There are some competitions that are offered over the internet which offers cash prizes for the biggest catch. Another interesting fact is that the health and safety of the fish are also important when competitively fishing. The competitions ensure that especially because the fish is released after, that the fish are being handled with care and that their mouths are not harmed during the reeling in process. In some competitions, if a fish is harmed during the process the fisherman is penalized for hurting the fish- especially so if the fish dies in the process. In a lot of competitions, as well, where they allow the use of fish finders in order to offer better chances to those out competing.
