I enjoy fishing, the activity of catching a fish, even if I don't do it much/
Me too, I live the sport of fishing, it really relaxes me. Whats your favorite kind of fish? 
Rod fishing is the only one I've done.  never tried hand gathering, netting or spearing.  What about you?
Ive never tried netting or spearing either, But I hear its a lot more difficult than a traditional rod. 
I imagine, it looks difficult, it requires real skills.  What I like is that in addition to providing food it is a fun pastime too.
Yes some people fish for food and some for the pure sport of it, I usually catch them to cook and eat later. 
Fresh fish is delicious.  Interesting that fishing is an ancient practice that dates back 40.000 years.
