Looks like I have something in common with "the Rock", we both love to fish and both kind of get the same satisfaction out of it.  The wrestler turned actor says the fish on his farm are "good for the soul".

He says he likes to get away from Hollywood as much as he can and retreat to his farm in Virginia.  He has been taking care of his bass , trout and carp there for years and loves creating a healthy ecosystem for them.  Some people get impatient while fishing but honestly I could sit there all day and just listen.  As long as I get a bite every hour or so I can hang in there.  Of course bass fishing is just about an instant catch...they are top feeders and as soon as that bait hits the water they usually either take it or they don't.

The Rock says it is strictly catch and release at his farm.  Check out his shirtless video catching the biggest trout he has ever caught on his homegrown farm,
