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).
