Ah, fishing life! What could possibly be better than stepping foot onto a fishing boat, cruising out into the open waters, cracking open a beer and throwing that line out into the water? These people got a little more than they expected when they went out for what was supposed to be a fun day of catching fish.
Fishing is definitely one of those “think little, do little” hobbies that some people have patience for and others just do not at all. On the one hand it requires a whole lot of patience, but on the other it can become quite soothing and even therapeutic. That’s not to say that fishing is easy, oh no, sometimes it can be the most frustrating thing you ever do. There are few things worse than sitting on a bridge with your rod in the water and not even getting a single tug. But if you choose the right partners to go along with you, the booze and the banter could be worth more than the fish itself. In fact, with the right company you could be out at the lake for a full day and not even feel the time tick by. That doesn’t mean that going on a fishing trip alone can’t be enjoyable. On the contrary, actually. Some of my best fishing expeditions took place when I headed out to the water all on my lonesome – fishing pole, sandwiches, plenty to drink and my beige sun hat. Ahhh, those were the days!
Should we even get started on bait? Worms, right? Well actually there is a fortune of other options out there that most people don’t even know about. We’re not talking about strawberries and cream, although that would be quite nice. Some innovative fishermen have found other methods of catching fish, like using raisins, dog food, canned meat, and even bubblegum! Which one would you try?
In this gallery you will see all things fishing. Some are hilarious and others are genius, but you can be the judge of that because one man’s genius is another man’s idiot. Nobody actually said that, but it seems to make sense. Get ready to have yourself a good ol’ laugh at these folks that know (or don’t) a thing or two about fishing!
Lurking In The Shallows
Sometimes fish can outsmart humans, and this is the perfect example of that. These fisherman thought they had it all figured out, but little did they know who they were dealing with.
