Some people who don’t like fishing seem to think it’s just an excuse for guys to go and have a nap by the water. Yeah, that’s sometimes the entire point. What could be more relaxing than heading to the water, dropping a couple of poles, and then promptly falling asleep until the sun has fallen so low that it’s hard to get home in the dark?
If you have a busy life, like a lot of people, that can be pretty alluring. Plus, you’re technically participating in a sport at the same time!
We're Just as Shocked
While this picture doesn't really have anything to do with fishing, per se, it does at least have to do with fish. As in, the person that took this picture hopefully took those terrible things off and tossed them into the water, where they spent time with actual fish, so no humans had to look at and/or wear them anymore.
They don't even look that comfortable – that kind of plastic means you'd have to wear thick socks. They also don't have ends, which means less warmth. Maybe they're just for protecting the bottom, top, and sides of your feet.
This Should Be Easy
Fishing can be difficult sometimes. If you have to deal with the entire lake, sea, or ocean (there are plenty of places for your hook to be), it can turn out to be frustrating if you don't know the finer points of fishing.
Well, why not turn down the difficulty, as this guy did, and just get a pail of water and dump a couple of fish inside? He might not even have any fish in there, but he's still trying. Maybe that's the issue that he keeps running into.
Maybe It Will Turn Into a Prince
We are happy to report that giving your fish a kiss right after catching them is not required while fishing. There are some people out there that don't like to put their mouths on something that came out of the water, even if they're cooked, so the idea of giving them a little peck right after you take the hook out is pretty gross to them.
Actually, it's pretty gross to a lot of people. Stop it. Maybe this guy is hoping his dating woes will suddenly be over, but we don't think he has much of a chance.
No, I Swear It Was That Big, I Even Have a Picture
While it seems like this picture was intended to mislead, it becomes pretty obvious that it's just a goof. Still, we have to give props to whoever gave this a try the first time. The composition is such that it's almost impossible to tell that the guy is actually a little action figure.
He has a real cable-knit sweater on, even if it is in miniature, the angle is such that you can't see any of the plastic joints and a minimal amount of skin, and there's nothing else in the picture that would give people a sense of scale.
