Fish in the United States are having a bigger dose of these chemicals compare to other places. These chemicals are spreading all over the United States, and even to small bodies of water in rural environments. This is becoming detrimental to fish population health, as well as human health. So much so that according to healthline , “A study   published today by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that eating just a single serving of freshwater fish caught in the United States could be the equivalent of drinking water contaminated with PFOS for a month. ” PFOS is a potentially harmful chemical, known as perfluoro octane sulfonic.

By fishing, you can reflect on yourself and do something in nature that is very relaxing. For me, fishing has helped me through many times in my life and has become more than a fun activity.

This gives me a chance to reflect on what I have done in my life and what I can do with the problems in my life. Fishing has also inspired me to create my own business and clothing line.

It gave me the clarity to realize I wanted to start and be a part of something I am very passionate about.This has now opened more opportunities for personally and professionally. It opened the ...
