I'm pretty sure there is more nuance than what is perceived.
Yes, please tell me how I'm wrong about the thing i've been doing my entire life.
Especially the thing I've been doing my entire life, around those exact types of people, who wear those exact types of hats/shirts and vote exactly like you expect them too.
You just proved my point - you are experienced. To the experienced, nuance doesnt matter all that much to the point where doing it, is as you essentially said: 'simple'.
Fishing is simple.
Its so simple that toddlers can do it, unassisted.
Thats why fishing is one of the biggest,easiest outdoor sports one can get into. You need no training, no experience, no youtube video, no manual, no explanation, to be able to do it. You just put a worm on a hook, and throw it in the water.
Thats it. Thats the basic essence of fishing. thats how the vast majority of people fish. Its not expensive, its not complicated, Its not rocket science. Its not difficult.
and thats exactly why these particular types of chuds do it. They arent out there working jigs. They arent out there tying complicated rigs. They aint out there spending hours casting and working artificials. They are out there, putting a worm on a hook, and throwing the line in the water.. So they can then turn around and get into their drinking, often heavily, and bitching about women, until the rod tip boings.
I dont know what crawled up your ass about this issue, but its fucking ridiculous to be "but ackshualley" against someone who actually knows these types of people and is answering the question about why so much of it is about fishing.
Bait presentation: Advanced anglers must constantly adjust line thickness, hook sizes, and float depths to trick cautious fish.
Watercraft and knowledge: Knowing fish behavior, seasonal habits, and water temperature dictates success far more than basic casting.
Precise feeding: Match anglers use exact amounts of groundbait and loose feed to draw fish in without overfeeding or scaring them away.
Complex methods: Fine-tuned techniques—such as trotting a stick float down a running river or hitting the exact same spot with a feeder rod repeatedly—require years of practice to master
