Do you mean popular as in audience or participation? I think fishing's high up the participation list if it's included as sport.

Just looked for 10 most popular. Three sources all came up with the same list, but they didn't quantify the criteria. Fishing isn't in there.

Am guessing they mean in terms of participation rather than audience figures.
