Hilarious Fishing Moments

Big Smile

There are over 28,000 fish species in the world with different sizes, shapes, colours, and teeth. With this large diversity, there is bound to be a type of fish that has teeth similar to those of people.

Who knows — maybe it also enjoys grilled cheese paninis and Thai food?

Really? Is It Nececessary?

While signs are usually useful, there are always those exceptions that make you think why people even bother. Here is one of these exceptions, where a bridge “No fishing or diving from bridge” sign.

Sounds normal, except that there is no water under the bridge (literally yes, but figuratively?).

Age is Just a Number

Fishing is a relaxing hobby that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Indeed, people from different generations have bonded over fishing.

Although the man in the photo is elderly and using a walker, he is dedicated to fishing. Mind over matter, and a good reminder to enjoy life regardless of one’s age.

Well Played, Sir

When we say fishing is a relaxing hobby, we didn’t imagine lugging a Lazy Boy chair onto a boat like the men in this photo.

Props to them though, they must have had a very relaxing fishing trip. Let’s hope they didn’t fall asleep like they were at home in front of the TV.

Make Up Your Mind

Sometimes too many signs can be put up, so that people can be more confused than enlightened.

Here we see a “Fishing bridge” sign in front of a “Closed to fishing” sign. No fishing on the fishing bridge, really?

Fly Fishing with a Twist

Normally when we think of fly fishing, we think of someone on a boat, standing close to the edge so he can cast out his long line.


We don’t think of someone riding on a blow-up giraffe, though he may have the right idea, eh?

Reel Therapy

We’ve heard of retail therapy, where people go shopping to unwind. Others go to hot springs, exercise, or go fishing.

Here someone decided to honour the relaxing effects of fishing by coining a new term.

Thinking Outside the Box…Above the Ground

People can find creative ways to tackle various activities. Where Mr. Blow-Up Giraffe used something many of us can get from a local store, these guys brought in heavy machinery to help them fish.

Maybe they could see the fish with that bird’s eye view?

Lazy Boy Boat Guy, Meet Lawn Chair Boat Guy

Remember the guys who put large sofas on their boats? This guy ups the ante by floating on the water on a plastic lawn chair attached to two blocks of wood and a motor.

He gets extra points for creativity with a budget…maybe the fish he catches will help pay for a better boat?

Sorry, Cars Don’t Float

When putting a boat into the water, it is somewhat important to remember that the boat should go into the water instead of the car. We really don’t know what these people were thinking when they decided to drive the car directly into the water.

Maybe their only concern was to get the boat into the water? Hope they have good car insurance, or Oprah with free car keys.

Carpe (Flooded) Diem

This man seems to be enjoying life drinking beer in a pool. He also seems to be fishing while surrounded by elevated levels of water.


A true example on how to shut the world out, Fishing Buddha would be proud.

Challenge Accepted

If you’re a fish and can read English signs while living out of water, then this area is perfect for you.

The funny “Swimming allowed only if you have fins and gills or feathers” sign is made more ridiculous by the “Dogs please keep your masters on lease at all times” clause.

Relationships and Compromise

Not everyone in a relationship shares the same interest as their significant other. It’s great that this woman is willing to spend time with her man, even though she is obviously not interested in fishing (as she is wearing high heels).

Quid pro quo — the man probably had to attend a flower arrangement workshop or a kombucha-making session.

Viking Fishermen

Vikings were known to be expert ocean navigators, so this group of fishermen must have been trying to channel their inner Norse warrior to get a good haul.


Sailing around in the Illinois Redneck Fishing Tournament is a little different from navigating the Scandinavian waters, but these guys get an A for costume and decoration.

Gone Fishing!

Fishing is ALL about the follow through. As we can see in the photo below, it looks like this man took it a little (or a lot) too far.

Remember to chill on the follow through unless you’re planning to take a dip in your jeans.
