Professional fishermen are known for not taking themselves seriously, and I'm not talking about just Bill Dance and Dave Mercer. Whether it's novelty fish mailboxes and giant fishing lures, t-shirts saying "Kiss My Bass" or even singing fish, the sport of fishing itself just begs for humour. Without further ado, here are my Top Five funniest fishing videos on Youtube.

This video nearly had me in tears the first time I saw it. To see anglers ripping around the lake in an armchair and fishing off of couches is just plain funny. The video itself is a commercial for a Rapala video game and is very well done. Check it out here:

I can watch this one over and over. Not only is Bill Dance absolutely hilarious in it, but KVD and Stacey King have their moments too, especially when KVD disguises his bass boat as a pontoon boat. Just watch...

Need a laugh? Go to Youtube and type in "Bill Dance Bloopers." There are numerous blooper videos from the accident-prone host's 40-some years on the air, all hilarious. It's tough to believe one man can be so clumsy, but hey, that's Bill Dance.

If you haven't heard of Ed Bassmaster, he's a bass fishing, Youtube sensation and Mumbles is just one of his many characters.

I'm not sure how anyone could dislike this, seeing a cute kid catch his first fish ever and go from freaking out to admiring it is priceless. Plus, this kid is hilarious.

WARNING: The below is a little risque. These commercials seem innocent enough but can easily be taken in the wrong context. Strangely enough, both made it to the airways and could be seen on cable TV.
