Fishing is the sport or activity of catching fish. Generally speaking - unless you are shooting fish in a barrel - the fish caught through fishing is done in the wild. There are many different types of techniques for fishing, which include angling, hand gathering, spearing, netting and trapping.
Fishing isn't an exclusive term to fish caught; many other types of animals can be caught fishing, such as mollusks, cephalopods, crustaceans and echinoderms.
While fishing is done for food purposes, it is also a big sport.
Are you wondering at what point did the man and the sea get together for fishing? Try about 40,000 years ago - roughly speaking. How do they know that? Well, when they analyzed whatever was left of the Tianyan man - the skeleton remains of a 40,000-year-old human from Eastern Asia - there were traces of freshwater fish. Furthermore, different ancient generations used to bury discarded fish bones and draw of fish in caves, which archaeologists have shown to provide more evidence.
Back in the day - or those days - fishing wasn't a sport, it was all for purposes of food. The lifestyle was a hunting one, which meant that fishing was perfect for it, but fishing - and everything caught fishing - was a source of food.
Recreational Fishing - or sport fishing - is fishing for pleasure or competition. In many cases, that covers both bases.
Sport fishing isn't just sitting on a boat and waiting for a bite, though. There are many rules, restrictions, regulations and right practices. In some places, you can only catch-and-release a fish. In others, you can take everything home that you've caught fishing.
The most popular way to fish nowadays is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and your choice of a number of different baits. What you use for bait typically determines what type of fish you are aiming to catch.
Once you become a good anlger and you want to play with the big boys, then you get yourself into big-game fishing. Typically, big-game fishing involves catching species such as tuna, sharks, marlin, tarpon, sailfish and mackerel, to name a few. The list goes on and on as there are plenty of fish in the sea - as they say.
Big-game fishing isn't about what you're going to fry on the pan tonight or how much you can sell the fish for; rather it is for the competition of catching the biggest and have the best time and/or form. Prizes are involved and the winners are rewarded. You'll have to practice fishing daily to get to the point that you're good enough to win these types of competitions.
When you catch one for the record books, that's called a trophy fish.
Trophy fish are the ones that you will remember for the rest of your life. We're not talking about the ones that you catch-and-release and never think of them again. When they coined the phrase "The Big Kahuna", they were referring to these types of fish.
The first thing you have to do is make the catch but after you do that, make sure you measure it, take video and take pictures.
Take a look at the video below to get an idea of what some trophy fish look like:
Knowing the best fishing times - or the peak fishing times - can really help you out. Think about it - if you're going to the bar to meet new people and you go on Tuesday morning, you probably won't meet as many people as if you went Saturday night.
Here are Four Tips You Need To Know About Best Fishing Times:
Now that you're ready to fish and know the peak times, the million dollar question is where do you go?
Knowing the hot spots obviously has to do with where you are geographically located, so make sure you do some research on the bodies of water near you.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a fishing hot spots GPS? Well, you're dreams have come true. Your friends at Garmin have detailed lake information on hundreds of the most popular hot spots in North America.
Whether you use their device or your own research, make sure you know the lake depth, creek channels, boat lanes, bottom consistency, rock piles, access roads, hazards and seasonal catching strategies before you go.
Here are some online resources to help you get started on your search for fishing hot spots:
