When I was a little kid, my dad would take me fishing a couple of times a year. I can't say that I ever really enjoyed it, and as an adult, I've only been fishing one time, and that was more about just hanging around with the guys and drinking beers. However, I do have a few friends that could absolutely spend 50 hours a week fishing if they were able to do so. They find it enjoyable and peaceful. Me? I find it boring. That being said, I did learn more than a few things about fishing when I created this quiz. So, time for you to cast your lines and see what you can catch in terms of a great score on this quiz! Most questions provide a definition and you have to choose the correct term.
