Many times we hear people say angling isn't a sport it's a pastime, or whatever else they choose to call it.
Here's the real answer: 'sport' comes from Victorian times when the word referred to the sporting chance in hunting, shooting and fishing. In schools they had 'games' rather than sports.
So there you are, we're more entitled than most to call angling a sport!
I just thought I'd share that with you........
