Ten common fishing terms explained
Catch and Release - A conservation motion that happens most
often right before the local Fish and Game officer pulls over a
boat that has caught over it's limit.
Hook - (1) A curved piece of metal used to catch fish. (2) A
clever advertisement to entice a fisherman to spend his live
savings on a new rod and reel. (3) The punch administered by
said fisherman's wife after he spends their life savings (see
also, Right Hook, Left Hook).
Line - Something you give your co-workers when they ask on
Monday how your fishing went the past weekend.
Lure - An object that is semi-enticing to fish, but will drive
an angler into such a frenzy that he will charge his credit card
to the limit before exiting the tackle shop.
Reel - A weighted object that causes a rod to sink quickly when
dropped overboard.
Rod - An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an
angler from ever getting too close to a fish.
School - A grouping in which fish are taught to avoid your
$29.99 lures and hold out for spam instead.
Tackle - What your last catch did to you as you reeled him in,
but just before he wrestled free and jumped back overboard.
Tackle Box - A box shaped alarmingly like your comprehensive
first aid kit. Only a tackle box contains many sharp objects, so
that when you reach in the wrong box blindly to get a Band Aid,
you soon find that you need more than one.
Test - (1) The amount of strength a fishing line affords an
angler when fighting fish in a specific weight range. (2) A
measure of your creativity in blaming "that darn line" for once
again losing the fish. |

A man was stopped by a game-warden
in Lake Erie recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake
well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do
you have a license to catch those fish?" The man replied to the
game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the
warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish
down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle
and they jump back into their buckets, and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at
the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show
you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game
warden was curious. The man poured the fish in to the river and
stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned
to the man and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" the man responded.
"When are you going to call them back?" the game warden
prompted. "Call who back?" the man asked. "The FISH." "What
fish?" the man asked. |
Q. If
fish lived on land, which country would they live in?
A. Finland. |
Fisherman's wife: "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you get rid of him for the whole
weekend" |
One day a fisherman was lying on a
beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand
and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He
was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of
catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach,
trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed
the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why
this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a
living for himself and his family.
"You aren't going to catch many fish that way," said the
businessman to the fisherman, "you should be working rather than
lying on the beach!"
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied,
"And what will my reward be?"
"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the
businessman's answer.
"And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still
smiling.
The businessman replied, "You will make money and you'll be able
to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of
fish!" "And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman
again.
The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the
fisherman's questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some
people to work for you!" he said.
"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman.
The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You
can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world,
and let all your employees catch fish for you!"
Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward
be?"
The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman,
"Don't you understand that you can become so rich that you will
never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the
rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset.
You won't have a care in the world!"
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do
you think I'm doing right now?" |
Q. How
do you stop a fish from smelling?
A. Cut it's nose off |
Q. What
is the fastest fish in the sea?
A. Go-carp. |
Q. What
do you call a fish with no eye?
A. FSH!!!! |
Q: What
did the fish say when he swam into the wall?
A: Dam. |
A father and son went fishing one
day. While they were out in the boat, the boy suddenly became
curious about the world around him. He asked his father, "How
does this boat float?
The father replied, "Don't rightly know son." A little later,
the boy looked at his father and asked, "How do fish breath
underwater?"
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know son." A
little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?"
Again, the father repied. "Don't rightly know son." Finally, the
boy asked his father, "Dad, do you mind my asking you all of
these questions?"
The father replied, "Of course not, you don't ask questions, you
never learn nothin'."

Fishing rule #1: The
least experienced fisherman always catches the biggest fish.
Fishing rule #2: The worse your line is tangled, the
better is the fishing around you.
Fishing rule #3: Fishing will do a lot for a man but it
won't make him truthful. |
A
fisherman returned to shore with a giant marlin that was bigger
and heavier than he. On the way to the cleaning shed, he ran
into a second fisherman who had a stringer with a dozen baby
minnows. The second fisherman looked at the marlin, turned to
the first fisherman and said, " Only caught one, eh?"
