I heard that actively fishing for 5 hours is the equivalent to running one mile because you're using so many muscles.

In 5 hours of fishing from a boat, based on my age, height and weight, I lose 907 calories. That's the equivalent to 1.5 Big Macs or 11 apples.

If you'd like to check out your own stats, go to www.caloriesperhour.com. Click on Calories Burned, BMI & BMR Calculator. Then click on Activity List. Select whether you fish from a boat or from shore and then fill in your personal info. I'd bet some of you bigger married guys could get more fishing time in by showing this to your wife (not to mention you'd probably be losing more calories than I do).

Cool - my 6 hours fishing burns more than my wife's 1 hour boring workout!

Yeah, especially if your tossing a 9 inch plug with a flippin-stick :lol:

Yeah, and crankbaits will burn every bit of that and maybe more! Jim your research tells me I need to fish 4-5 days per week to lose this weight. Thanks! Now if I can just figure out how to make that happen....... 8)

Dude, you better bring 2.5 big macs or 18 apples next time we go fishing. :shock: :wink:

Im starting to find protien bars and beef jerky make you fish better!

I forgot to add, when you bank fish here in Az with low water, you get to skip the fishing catagory and enter the HIKING catagory. Not too fun if youre out of shape. Another reason to get a boat. :lol:
