Fun & Jokes For Fishin' Folks!!!
The Fishin' Definitions...
ANGLER: One who angles. An obsessed individual who owns a house that is falling down, a lawn that has been taken over by weeds, a truck whose color could best be described as "rust", and a "like new" bass boat which he washes and waxes before, after and in between each fishing trip. One who attempts to find a new "angle" for an excuse to go fishing. One whose wife left him three weeks ago and he hasn't yet noticed.
TREBLE HOOK: Three hooks welded together. A device that triples the odds of catching a fish. A device that quadruples the odds of getting one stuck in your finger, landing net, carpet, boat seat covers, truck headliner and/or seat of your pants.
THUMB: A person's opposable digit. The only finger that won't fit in ones nose. What you use to create a backlash in your most expensive reel… Just as the fish start biting. To "thumb" as in "I THUMB my nose at gainful employment!" A temporary hook holder.
KNOT: An insecure connection between you and the biggest fish of your life. A recurring problem with your spinning reel. The worst kind of "professional overrun"! A good excuse to buy a more expensive reel. A speed indicator which NO ONE can convert to MPH. What your wife puts on your head when you ask to go fishing on your anniversary.
NET: What's left of your paycheck, after you've paid your bill at the Bait Shop. That thing you didn't notice blow out of the boat ten miles back. The one item you remember is still hanging in the garage… just when you've hooked the biggest bass of your life! A device used to drag an inebriated fishing buddy back into the boat.
BOAT: A hole in the water usually made of wood, fiberglass or aluminum, into which one pours money.
REEL: A device for storing tangled and knotted monofilament fishing line. A device used to practice unraveling tangled and knotted monofilament fishing line. What your wife tells you to "get" when you ask to go fishing on your anniversary.
TACKLE BOX: A fishing lure storage device which manufacturers continually make bigger… So you have to fill them up. A place to store the dozens of fishing lures you never use. NOT a place to keep defensive linemen! An angler's largest and most valuable asset.
LIVE BAIT: What your bait WAS when you left the Bait Shop. Probably the largest fish you will handle all day.
TROLLING: A method of fishing, whereby a lure is endlessly dragged through the water by the forward motion of a boat. What you do all afternoon, after you've dropped your brand new $500 fishing outfit overboard. The act of looking under bridges for strangely dressed, mean and ugly little men. The act of looking for a buddy who will actually believe your latest fishing story.
