About this Quote

This quote by Dave Barry is an amusing take on the activity of fishing. He is suggesting that fishing is generally an uninteresting activity, but when you in fact capture a fish, it can be quite unpleasant. This could be because of the smell of the fish, the slimy texture, or the truth that you need to kill it. He is likewise suggesting that the enjoyment of catching a fish is unworthy the unpleasantness that comes with it. This quote is a funny way of expressing the concept that fishing is not always as enjoyable as it may appear.
