I like both, actually.

Pike (Esox lucius) is my favorite game fish with perch (Perca fluviatilis) as a strong second and ide (Leuciscus idus) in third place. Normally I prefer using ultralight equipment, make my own lures and I don't do "catch-and-release". I could hold an hour-long presentation on the subject of "My fishing hobby", and I actually have.

Heres a picture:

That's a 7g Reflex in its mouth, if you want to know what size the fish is. Not huge. What I like about it? Developing and trying out new ideas and strategies, and generally bettering yourself. Not to mention trivial things like enjoying nature.

And hunting.. You could say that I'm more of a trapper than a hunter, haven't got that much land to hunt on. Mink and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). With instantly killing and live catching traps, sometimes with firearms.

Same reasons as with fishing, plus these two species are introduced species that are damaging the local ecosystem.

drache, catching fish qualifies as fishing.

No matter how you do it.
