In the United States, the phrase "goin' fishin'" is synonymous with taking a break and leaving everyday cares behind to go enjoy the outdoors, spend time with family or friends, and, if one is lucky, catch some tasty fish. According to the American Sportfishing Association, fishing is a hobby pursued by some 40 million Americans, including more than 8 million youngsters between the ages of 6 and 15. Part of fishing's appeal is that it is accessible to all ages and every pocketbook. Any youngster with a stick, string, and hook, and some wriggly worms for bait, can try his or her luck in the local stream or pond. Serious fishermen, on the other hand, can easily invest thousands of dollars in boats and specialized fishing gear with which to pursue their favorite kind of fishing. Most sport fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks, and a wide variety of baits and lures. Specific kinds of fishing most popular in the United States include: (1) Bass fishing; (2) Fly fishing; (3) Deep sea fishing; and (4) Ice fishing.
