If you can’t catch ’em, blow ’em out of the water.

Two reasons to go fishing. First is relaxation and the joy of being in the outdoors. Second is getting food for supper.

…not to mention the occasional/frequent ale or three.

A guy invited a friend to go fishing, unaware that he was a game warden. When they got out on the lake, the man lit a stick of dynamite and tossed it over, resulting in the expected haul of fish. His guest was shocked and said he was going to arrest him for his illegal act. The man calmly lit another stick, handed it to his guest and said: “So are you going to talk or fish?”

You have to be quite koi when fishing.

Don’t flounder around, just go fishing!

Let’s ketch-up on some fishing stories.

Fishing with my math teacher was pi-fect.

The best stories are made while fishing!

Fishing with you is an o-fish-ally good time.

Fishing: the art of wasting time productively.

Lure by DuPont.

In the game of life,

fishing is my winning reel.

I always have a good line when it comes to fishing.

“You gonna talk or fish?”—old joke punch line.

“They” tell me that eating lots of fish is good food for the brain.

If so, I figure it’s because fish are always in school.

Someone knows what happened to classics BC and Wizard of Id?

The old Jerry Clower monologue about Marcel Ledbetter and the Game Warden going fishing. An old classic.

Cavemen got dynamite!

And in the 5th panel, Clumsy Carp pops up out of the water.

During WWII some soldiers noticed that landing craft chased swarms of fish in front of them. Until the MPs stopped them, they were tossing grenades to either side of these craft as they neared the beach.

Too bad fish store not invented yet eh.

Ole boy has a “short fuse”!!!!

The fish are enjoying the spectacle.

I said it before, it is called FISHING, not CATCHING.

You should’ve seen the one that got away…..

In the townhouse I once lived, there was a “canal” that ran behind our house. I used to go fishing for carp which were great fighters. I’d always toss them back in, though. I don’t think they’re “edible” and the canal was fed by storm drains so it’s a safe bet that it was polluted.

A tad illegal even back then

That must be Alfred Nobel trying out his new invention

Aah, my 1950s youth tying M-80s to rocks and tossing them into a lake.

Using explosives for fishing is illegal EVERYWHERE.

Peter was a fisherman but this Peter does not have the faith

We use to call that a CIL lure

And now with Trump back in the tractor seat, maybe we will be able to afford to buy groceries again and the farmers will be able to farm again – soon, anyway. There are still a lot of bug eaters and farmer haters out there.

Some days are just like that when you’re fishing

All that gear just complicates things. I get the same level of fun snoozing by the creek all afternoon. Then buying a box of fish sticks on the way home.

A trip to the Philippines?

“Caint bite, they daid.”
