Catching fish is not a mental game between fish and angler. A 'smart' trout is only smarter than other trout, not smarter than a fisherman. An angler must take the puzzle of the day's conditions, and matching those conditions and his knowledge of the fish come up with a good catch. He competes with a concept, not with a fish's brain.

But, in North Korea, it's just the opposite. There's one story. It's written by the Kim regime. And 23 million people are conscripted to be secondary characters. There, as a youth, your aptitude towards certain jobs is measured, and the rest of your life is dictated, whether you'll be a fisherman or a farmer or an opera singer.

Work does not exist in a nonliterate world. The primitive hunter or fisherman did no work, any more than does the poet, painter, or thinker of today. Where the whole man is involved there is no work.
Marshall McLuhan

In cross examination, as in fishing, nothing is more ungainly than a fisherman pulled into the water by his catch.
Louis Nizer

I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there.

There are all kinds of letters and protests that come from, not surprisingly, Japanese fishermen, the fishermen's wives there are student groups, all different types of people the protest against the Americans' use of the Pacific for nuclear testing.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.

Fishing in rainy conditions may make fisherman seem crazy to the great mass of unimaginative people, but then few fishermen care what they think

Anybody who spends time off of Louisiana's shores can recognize that these oysters are not endangered. To classify them as such risks great harm to not only fishermen who make their living collecting oysters in the Gulf, but also to Louisiana's economy in total.

I object to fishing tournaments less for what they do to fish than what they do to fishermen.
Ted Williams

Poor-country surf communities can be complex and, to some extent, leveling. The fisherman's kid is competing head to head with the plutocrat's gilded son. Your father can't buy you a good frontside hack.

As the old fisherman remarked after explaining the various ways to attach a frog to a hook, it's all the same to the frog.

When I get in the sun I get very tanned. You can't tell me from the native fishermen in Hawaii or Mexico.

Most fisherman, including this one, cling to their pet stupidities as they would to a battered briar or an old jacket and their dogged persistence in wrong methods and general wrong-headedness finally wins the a sort of grudging admiration, if not many fish.

Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish.
Roderick Haig-Brown

We as songwriters are in the same position as a professional fisherman. Our fishing grounds are kind of fished out.

All men are equal before fish.
Herbert Hoover

Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish.

The fishermen say that the thundering of the pond scares the fishes and prevents their biting.
Henry David Thoreau

Wise man is a lake full with fishes clever man is a fisherman who often visits this lake!

The Thieves of Manhattan is a sly and cutting riff on the book-publishing world that is quite funny unless you happen to be an author, in which case the novel will make you consider a more sensible profession-like being a rodeo clown, for example, or a crab-fisherman in the Bering Sea.
Carl Hiaasen

When you're on a boat, 15 nautical miles off the coast and you're with a bunch of fishermen, they don't give two shits about who you are.
