Recreational fishers/fishing, in general, refers to fishing for sport or pleasure. However, legal definitions differ from country-to-country. In some countries, recreational fishers may use capital intensive techniques and may sell their catch. In other countries catch may not be sold and only certain, non-capital intensive, fishing methods used.
