Personally I would go with the fishing. Even as a hobby, how you have developed your skills from age 4 over time to not only enter competitive tournaments but use it as a way to feed the hungry is absolutely eye catching. I know nothing about it and would pepper you with questions out of curiosity. Since the rest of your leadership resume is solid, I think you do more with an interesting hobby than another leadership experience unless that experience is substantial (i.e. if you are that cheerleader whose court case ended up at the Supreme Court, yeah go with that.)

I'm leaning towards including [interesting hobby] due to its uniqueness, but am wondering if the mention of it in my personal statement is sufficient and should wait to bring it up in secondaries/interviews?

Let me know what you think! Would love the input of any Adcoms
