SPORT FISHING
Sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition.
The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any one of a wide range of baits.
Big-game fishing is conducted from boats to catch large open-water species such as tuna, sharks and marlin.
Sport fishing methods vary according to the area fished, the species targeted, the personal strategies of the angler, and the resources available. Sport fishing is usually done with hook, line, rod and reel rather than with nets or other aids.
The most common salt water game fish are marlin, tuna, tarpon, sailfish, shark, and mackerel.
In order to protect recreational fisheries sport fishermen now often catch and release, and sometimes tag and release, which involves fitting the fish with identity tags, recording vital statistics, and sending a record to a government agency.
Recreational fishing has conventions, rules, licensing restrictions and laws that limit the way in which fish may be caught. The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) makes and oversees a set of voluntary guidelines. Typically, these prohibit the use of nets and the catching of fish with hooks not in the mouth. Enforceable regulations are put in place by governments to ensure sustainable practice amongst anglers.
