I am am avid fisher, how about you?
I've been fishing a few times in my life. I went fishing in Hawaii last February. Line fishing, off a boat.
That sounds lovely. I went Tope shark fishing in the Irish Sea. We used hand lines to catch the bait (Mackerel), then rods for the shark. 
I'd be afraid to go shark fishing. I'd be afraid to catch a great white shark. Those things are big! And apparently they can live a long time, too. Up to 70 years.
70 years is incredible! I didn't actually catch a shark, but a bull huss, which is a part of the shark family, it tried to turn and bite me as I lowered it back into the sea!
Ooh! Nasty. My kids keep telling me that the tiger shark is quite calm and avoids people, but I'm not sure I'd trust them. They still want to see one, though. Apparently they might live not far from where we live on the east coast.
