    Agreed, I really don’t think it’s the fishing itself.

    Half the problem on any dating site is the classic: 1. Be attractive 2. Don’t be unattractive.

    If the dude is holding a fish but looks like Chris Evans, she will probably still be interested.

    On top of that, dudes holding the fish will overwhelmingly tend to look like the wrap around sunglasses wearing, goatee having, overweight, Trump voting cliche. Women probably build an association to not being compatible with dudes who love fishing after enough times of seeing that and connecting these dots.
