The Sport of Fishing

They say that fishing is a sport, but who wants to compete with a fish? These small, slimy swimmers often end up as someone's main dish. The fish's pea sized brain is usually fooled by store bought bait. The only problem for the fisherman is how long his patience must wait. A fishing rod and decorated hook lures the brainless victim to its death. After its fins slap the human skin, the fisherman brags with every breath. A cold blooded fish's defeat means little on the scoreboard of life. If fishing is meant to be a sport, why are the losers chopped up with a knife?
