Death by fish!

Frome the Customfish news room:

What sport do most people die doing?
Football? Nope. football averages 3 deaths a year.
Boxing? Nope. 5 a year.
Skydiving? Nope.
Deep sea diving? Nope.
MMA? Nope.
Hunting? Nope.


Our sport is responsible for the most deaths per year of any sporting activity. More than all the others combined. I don't recall the exact number but it was in the hundreds. Ofcourse most are from hitting submerged objects, driving while intoxicated, going overboard without a PDF, hypothermia, etc...stupid preventable stuff. A few are from being pulled overboard while tangled in downrigger cables, nets and crab pots. A few are from attacks mid catch (sharks while kayaking, spearfishing, surf fishing) and one or two are from things like being impaled by a marlin that jumps into the boat. Oh..and then there's the heart attack mid-fight that happens. Don't believe me? Do a google search of this phrase "man dies while fishing". See what comes up.
I've actually worked on a Lake Michigan salmon charter where the canon ball thing and the heart attack thing happened. I didn't see either one, thank god.

So there ya go. The next time someone thinks you are just going down to the bank to drown a worm on a hook, you can explain to them that you are on a voyage to participate in the deadliet sport on the planet.
How's THAT for a ego booster?
