👉 A sport fisherman is someone who specializes in fishing for sport, typically on a boat or in a kayak. They often use specialized equipment and techniques to catch fish that are not commonly caught by regular fishermen. Sportfishermen may also be known as "big game" anglers, as they tend to target larger, more valuable species of fish. Some sportfishermen even specialize in fishing for certain types of fish or species, such as bluegill or walleye.
