Fishing, whether for subsistence, sport, or commerce is one of man’s oldest hunting techniques. We have archaeological evidence to support that the practice has gone on for at least 40,000 years. The skeletal remains of Tianyuan Man from the Paleolithic period show that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. This evidence is bolstered by bones of aquatic animals found in ancient midden heaps across the world.
There are many different types of fishing and a variety of equipment used to catch them. In one of its purest forms, tribe’s people can catch the fish with their bare hands. Other methods include using spears, nets, and complex fishing reels which are designed for all different types of fishing. Fly fishing is a beautiful sub-discipline of the sport which involves skimming the water with a small lure which resembles a natural fly. The motion of the fly rod causes the fish to rise from the water to consume the fly. There is also deep sea fishing which focuses mostly on either catching large quantities of fish to be sold commercially or sport fishing which is an attempt to catch game fish and sharks.
Fishing tackle refers to any equipment a fisherman uses to catch his or her prey. Typically tackle consists of the lures, lines, and fishing reels used to catch the fish. This gear is often housed in a tackle box or carried on the person in a fishing vest. The sort of fishing rod, reels, and lured used will vary depending on the region and the type of fishing being done.
In recreational fishing, the fish caught can either be consumed or caught and released. In some forms of sport fishing, the fish caught is not tasty or sometimes even edible. The purpose of fishing in these cases is simply the joys found in hunting the fish and successfully bringing it in. Some regions of the country even require that the fish be put back in the water or that non-mature fish be released. These measures ensure that the fish population can survive far into the future.
Fishing has had a profound cultural and religious influence worldwide. It has shaped all of the major religions in various ways, most notably Christianity. It has even forged a place in modern colloquial expressions with terms such as: ‘Taking the bait’, ‘trapped hook, line, and sinker,’ and ‘fishing for compliments.’
