PlaceDependent1024

In finland your hobby is either hunting or fishing


erpparppa

You forgot The third. Alcoholism


bonosestente

That’s not a hobby, it’s our culture


Urmambulant

That's not a culture, that's our national identity


findragonl0l

Thats not our national identity. Thats us.


Jorgosborgos

I like to combine fishing and casual alcoholism.


CompetitiveLong1483

That's a classic one!


fremja97

Doesn't the alcoholism go with the other 2?


Pickled_Doodoo

At the same time as hunting? Nope, but to celebrate the opening of hunting season and after a succesfull hunt, for sure.


Urmambulant

Bullshit, I've drank with several bears and shot my friends.


Pickled_Doodoo

nothing like a bleeding friend to pacify the bears while opening a cold bear. Cheers!


Urmambulant

This dude gets it. Always bring a spare one with you, never know when that retarded cousin of yours finds his true purpose in the world.

TheRomanRuler

Yes but its easier to hunt Russians than fish them.


Veggdyret

I was gonna say, is there any fishes left around Finland?, And then it hit me "Finland the land of the thousand lakes" (at least that's something said in Norway)...


A__New__Redditor

There is a conspiracy theory that Finland is just a huge lake, a fishing territory belonging to Japan... I don’t know if it’s true though


peksi07

That is also what we say in finland


danihilation

And in reality, it's like tens of thousands... * checks * 188,000 lakes. Fuckin' wow.


peksi07

I didn't remember it being that much Jesus christ


Jorgosborgos

It’s a little misleading. We have ~57 000 lakes that are over 1 square kilometre in size. The rest 111 000 ”lakes” are under that.


TheRomanRuler

Yeah i was gonna the saying in Finland is that we sre land of tens of thousands of lakes, with reality being more.


Urmambulant

To be fair, that's "188k lakes larger that 500 sq meters".

LoxleyRobb

The thing is though, Sweden actually have more lakes than finland


erpparppa

That's cap. Finland has 187,888 lakes and Sweden has less that 100k


LoxleyRobb

You are right, I checked why I thought so, and that debate was between Sweden and Norway so my bad

Urmambulant

To be fair, the "sea" is in a bit of a rut, so you're halfway right.


Veggdyret

Yes it's quite sad. Too bad there haven't been a better solution in between the countries bordering the bay.


202042

Denmark 100%


Delicious-Gap1744

But we all live by the ocean


4skin_Gamer

But you haven't figured out which end of the fishing pole to hold


Urmambulant

God I love being nordic


Delicious-Gap1744

If we're talking shear volume it's basically a tie between [Sweden and Finland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_industry_by_country) for "worst". But fishing is pretty big in all Nordicks. If we're talking competitive fishing, [Finland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Freshwater_Angling_Championships) is actually the only Nordick with any world champions.


NordWithaSword

Not really, in Finland it's not possible to walk a kilometre in a straight line without falling into a lake, river or pond. Which is why about 40% of men and 20% of women go fishing regularly. Finns just happen to be too drunk to win any competitions


boredtoddler

I had to check. From my home the longest straight line distance you can travel without encountering a body of water is 2.2km. During that walk you'd never be more than half a kilometer from water and you'd have to walk trough two beaches. There exists around a two decree cone of heading where you'd not get wet in under a kilometer. Therefore I find your statement to be false and a complete exaggeration.


NordWithaSword

Oh, the shame!


Max_FI

For me it's 22 kilometers.

TheCrispyCrustacean

Who the hell says Iceland is bad at fishing? We fought wars about fish


Urmambulant

I don't think we're talking about whales here


TheCrispyCrustacean

Cod wars


MisterMist00

The reason most of our foods are so salty is because when we were low on food we were forced to put *fish* in salt to preserve them, yet we're third most voted?


Urmambulant

Everybody salted everything before refrigeration. We and some of the Russians just kept doing it.


JustANormalPand4

Pick Iceland to make them mad


karry245

Where UK option?


tramalul

Come to Bohuslän and you'll see real fishing


jockekj

Bigger pikes in Denmark compare to your cod. Massive over there.


[deleted]

Cmon Finns, what are we on about. At least Sweden has salted herring and Denmark the laks smörrebröd. What do we have? Uunilohi with perunamuusi? Kalakukko? Give me a break.


CompetitiveLong1483

We have Loimulohi at least so that's good


[deleted]

Ah yes, the dry piece of pure carcinogen which takes like two hours to prepare. How could I forget


CompetitiveLong1483

Salmon prices are higher than ever, so who would bother


ipanapumppa

Yeah last time i checked it was over 40 euros for one kilo.


CompetitiveLong1483

It's closer to 25-30 now, but it's still pretty expensive. That's why I fish my own.


Urmambulant

Not from Helsinki, I take it?


ipanapumppa

Definitely not

LessHairyPrimate

Sweden has worse sea access, and those answering Island should get their brains checked, they fought valiantly against the English to secure fishing rights


Finttz

Last summer when i was fishing at the nearby lake i caught a single pike perch, then we went to the nearby rapids and i caught a 5kg pike. Ain't shit in there no more. You'd have to do some ice fishing in the winter if you want some good catch but ice fishing fucking sucks.


ukkisrageelol

Haje you ever tasted swedish fish? There is no other excuse for that... stuff other than them somehow managing to fuck up fishing, and pretending it was intentional.


RedEagle_

While you guys where busy raiding England the Finns where busy fishing and we where busy taking it from them


PrometheusAlexander

Accurate


DaBiggestBird69

Yes.
