Singer Fergie has a secret macho hobby - she's a keen fisherman.

The Black Eyed Pea became hooked on angling after her dad took her on weekend trips, and is now so obsessed with the pastime, she recently trekked to Mexico to chase big catches.

She says, "I'm a fisherman. When I was a little girl, my dad would take me fishing. I was fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, recently, and I went fishing for marlin and dorado."

"You throw the marlin back, but you eat the dorado."
