Not How We Usually Do It, But OK
Fishing has been around for about as long as human beings realized that they could nosh on the little wriggling things that are in the water. It’s very possible that it’s one of the earliest professions that has ever been in our history and culture, and there are a lot of ways to do it, like this guy.
We have no idea what exactly he’s trying to accomplish, but he sure as heck is accomplishing it. Perhaps he’s going spearfishing, but he doesn’t look like he’s having a good time of it, now that we look closer.
Say "Fish"
These fishermen couldn't look happier, and why wouldn't they? They just caught three beautiful Opah fish, and certainly knew how to capture a perfect picture.
Although we must say that, considering how huge these fish are, we can't help but let our imagination go wild and think of what would happen if they weren't actually dead and decided to exact revenge on these three fishermen. Now that would be an even better photo!
Sharing a Rod
These two look ready to catch a fish, but with only one rod between them, they're angling for a smaller meal than normal. Of course, it would also help if the rod was actually dangling in the water.
Maybe they aren't even there to catch fish – maybe this is just all something they put together so that it looks like they're fishing, and they just want to enjoy the beach a little bit. Are there even any fish in the ocean? We usually get them at the grocery store.
Doing It the Old Way
This picture is from way back in 1955 when a pair of anglers headed to the local watering hole to catch some dinner. Maybe they did things differently in England back in the mid-twentieth century, but we're pretty sure that they had poles by that point.
Maybe they do have the proper hardware, and it's just out of sight, or maybe they like to get their hands dirty and grab the fish right out of the water like a couple of pros. We're also a little amazed at the photo quality, seeing as the picture is almost seventy years old.
Grabbed by a Crab
During the 1920s, food was a lot harder to come by than nowadays. You couldn't just pop down to the store and get a big cart full of all the good stuff – a lot of people had to farm or hunt for their food themselves.
This lady was giving it her best, but she was on the wrong end of a crab's pincers. She's letting out a big scream, flailing wildly, and the basket in her hand, which might have been full of other crabs, is going straight back into the water.
