Angling is number 1 who did the research? Angling Today Magazine?

I'd say DIY/Home improvement based on all the Home Improvement TV shows these days.

Unless going to the pub is a hobby?

Don't think it is 'Going to the Pub.' That used to be an Occupation rather than a Hobby for some. Besides, so many pubs are now closed.
