Fishing can turn into quite an arduous sport. You may be stuck out on the dock for hours while you wait for a catch. At times, the lack of activity can make you feel discouraged and you’ll want to just throw in the rod. It’s important that every once in a while, you put down your rod and relax your arms. Rod stands were invented for a reason! It allows you to take a break from holding onto the rod but still keep your rod dangling in the water in case something good comes along. If you don’t have a rod stand, then you can run into some trouble.
Well, this guy looks like he wasn’t about to let the lack of a rod stand stop him from taking a well-needed rest. So, what did he do? He created his own human stand, naturally! But that does look like quite a tiring position to keep up.
Patiently Waiting
Commercial fishing is a billion-dollar industry that supplies millions of jobs to people around the world. There's no denying that fishing often involves adverse conditions, which have fishermen spending hours out on the water and sometimes facing difficult weather conditions. But, for many people, this is their job, and they must work hard in order to sell their catch to local markets and restaurants.
It seems like these two men have customers that aren't about to shell out the big bucks. Cats, of course, love eating fish, and it seems like they're also trying to get in on the fresh catch these men returned with. Fortunately for these cats, the men are happy to share.
Looking For A Better Catch
Many people like to celebrate marriage with a wedding. The celebration often includes flowers, delicious food, family, and loads of dancing. But weddings are also an opportunity to express your unique self. This woman decided that she wanted to celebrate marrying the love of her life by fishing.
Perhaps they met each other while fishing and want to bring things back full circle. Whatever the reason, this woman headed straight to the water after the altar, or maybe she skipped the altar altogether. She clearly isn't one of those girls that care so much about clothes and makeup.
Dry Land Fishing
There are two items that you need if you want to fish. The first, of course, is a rod or a net, and the second is water with fish in it. Without one or the other, fishing is pretty much impossible.
Well, it seems like this sign is a bit unnecessary, considering that there is no water near the bridge. I hope that whoever decided to put up this sign did so when there was actually water there. Or perhaps the dude responsible for this has a very "dry" sense of humor.
Fishing Isn't Easy
Fish aren't as dumb as you might think. Actually, some species of fish are quite intelligent, and for that reason, fishing is not an easy sport. Most fishers have to spend hours with their rods trying to catch something, and they're lucky to even catch one fish. Fishing is an art that requires using trickery to lure fish.
However, fish often outsmart the fisherman. In this photo, you can see that this fish so clearly realized that the bait dangling in front of him was dangerous. He swam right up to the poles and in front of the fishers, almost as to say to them, "in your face, buddies." Well, the joke is definitely on the fisherman.
