Funniest Fishing Photos Ever Caught On Camera

What could be possibly better than a hobby that gives you the pleasure of self-fulfillment? Ah, Fishing! Whether you do it for a calm atmosphere, serenity, stress relief, sports or social bonding, it is worth it! Not only do you get a chance to interact with nature, but you also experience fun while doing so.

Often fishing gets really crazy and so does the fishermen. Good thing for you is that we have managed to gather unexpectedly amusing events that prove fishing can be downright humorous and entertaining.

Read on and let yourself have a good old laugh on this comical fishing gallery.

The Power Of Nature

Fishing can be very intimidating too. Be cautious, if it's your first time out on the water. The last thing you would want is to have a clash with nature. The way this pic looks, it can be assumed that this hotshot guy has caught himself quite a big deal! Or, some may guess it as - who's fishing who? It seems quite hard to win this fight. We wonder whose hard work actually paid off.

A Hole In One

Not everyone can go ice-fishing. Before you think of it, you need to know that it’s not like “normal fishing”. You need to make a hole to fish from. But this guy ha d a small hole, so how did he get such a big fish?

It’s a camera trick. The fish is held close to the camera so it seems big.

Seize The Moment

There are only a few people who know how to make the best out of a terrible situation. All this guy wanted was to have a quiet fishing day. He won’t let any flooding ruin it for him!

Well, he sure made it easier for others to take in the bad weather.

From The Altar To The Water

Is she a runaway bride? Why is she dressed up as a bride? Is this her idea of a pre-wedding photoshoot? Or is she trying to relax before the big day? We believe that she got her priorities straight, and ran to the one she loved most – the sea. Let’s hope she did it after the wedding.

The Perfect View

When a lake is known to have good fishing, it is oftentimes visited from multiple fishers at a time. However, soon, it gets overcrowded as one friend tells another how great the spot is. However, we have our doubts that the fish may be what is attracting the more fisherman to the lake. It is obviously the lush green scenery that surrounds it. Clearly, there is nothing else to attract a bunch of men.

An Out Of Work Stormtrooper

Not all the time, Star war's stormtrooper is busy squashing the rebel scum. They do enjoy their days off from time to time. In spite of targeting with his laser rifle, they are up to fishing today. Better watch out for Nexu though...

Rule Breakers

If there is a sign, it is there for a good reason. Your safety is one of them. So, you must obey it. Not to obey the rules and doing exactly what they're telling not to do, is either saying that you are not able to read or that it must be a pretty nice site to fish. Else, no one would risk getting in trouble.

Taking The High Ground

See how some intelligent people go above and beyond to introduce a new level of fishing to us - Crane fishing. After all, the number of fish is all that matters in the end! While some prefer to break the laws, there are some who go to extreme heights to reach out and try to find the perfect fishing spot. These men really did their best by figuring out how to get “out there.”

They say that ‘those with the high ground usually win’. Quite possibly these fishermen took it too seriously while fishing.

Cats Love Fish

Usually, fish are caught by fisherman for their own profit. But, this pic translates a different situation to us. After spending hours on getting the catch of the day, they don't mind greeting some local felines. Just don’t let them get too close.

Caught In A Net

Obviously, a fishing rod is the best way to fish. Yet, there are many other tools you can use. One such tool is a fishing net, and yes – ‘net fishing’ it’s a sport. This net fisher knows what she’s doing, covering her face with a hockey mask, as this river is known for jumping fish. Clearly, she must have caught enough for her dinner!

Fish Photos

This picture was taken just at the right time! To create a photo like this, all you need is a talented friend who can timely take such a memorable photo. We agree it’s not exactly a fishing picture; still, it's a photo with fish, so that’s that!

I Got Ya Buddy

What could be better than chumming around on the water fishing with your best mate? Along with some pretty nice stuff, you also get through with some unfortunate events. Looks like they might have some engine trouble… maybe a fish got caught on the propeller?

Baby On Board

It looks like a family outing. Isn’t that nice? When you have kids to entertain all the time, figuring out an activity where everyone can have fun is a daunting task. This couple seems to be interested in fishing and they’re trying to make their kids love it too. That’s a nice vacation.

When The Boat’s Rockin’

Seas can be high sometimes, but it doesn’t mean that you can also be high. On the road, you must be aware of any potholes that could be on the road. At sea, you need to be aware if there is anything… well… dry, in the way.

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These

We can surely laugh at this pic! Sometimes affection for fishing can go too far, and this photo portrays it. When tomorrow is fishing-day and you want to be prepared. To cope with that, people often choose to sleep in their certain outfit or browse fishing photos online. But this guy picked sleeping with his fishing rods.

Flip Fish Flops

Flip flops are easy-to-wear and inexpensive footwear. Whether you wish to walk on grass, sand, or water, flip flops are a footgear that's befitting to all types of terrain. In addition to it, you can say that flip-flops are the perfect fishing footwear (but they’re not). Here, someone opted to create a fishing worthy pair.

Road Reeling

Conditions of roads can get affected due to heavy rain and floods. If your area is not prepared for heavy rains, it can cause a disruption of roads and pothole problems. However, this man doesn't care when it comes to fishing, even in a disastrous situation like this. That, in turn, leaves an incredibly humorous impact on viewers.

Nice Lobservation

Looks like she is a real expert in catching seafood, or should we say, lobstering. It was the word on the street that day that this lady caught five lobsters. As the picture doesn't show the fifth lobster, who knows where it is. Although, on a serious note, spiny lobsters are quite tricky to catch and only an expert diver can manage it easily.

Different Species, Same Teeth

Say cheese! Do you know that there are approximately 28,000 types of fish species? Each of them has something unique to offer. So, yes. This fish has teeth that look like a human set. Certainly, this lovely duo had the right idea how to make people laugh with their lovely bunch of chompers. Of course, they're not twins.

You Need Water To Fish

History. That’s the only reason for this sign. Once, a long time ago there was water here. Maybe people are trying to get some land-fish. Those are fish that live only in your head, when you’re off your medication.

Age Can’t Stop Me

Good thing about fishing is that anyone can enjoy it. You are never too old to enjoy a day in the wilderness. This guy seems young at heart. Chances are, age is less likely to stop him from fishing. Ever.

By Hook Or By Crook

There is something shady about this picture. We all do some crazy stuff to get noticed. Then, who are we to judge anyone? Although, most anglers of today prefer to take selfies, so they can show their achievement to others. But this guy would be forgotten as we cannot see his face.

Lazy Boy Boats

For these guys, fishing must be tiring. It’s funny when you try to build your own vacation boat. I guess they are the types of dudes who want the fish to come to them.

No Fishing On The Fishing Bridge

Signs are there for a reason. However, unnecessary signs are not really needed. What happened here? First you get excited about fishing from the bridge, but then you’re shot out of the sky when you walk like 3 feet. What’s up with that?

Fishing & Floating

As long as you catch big fish, you are doing well regardless of what fishing technique you use. One well-known technique that most anglers use is Fly fishing. It requires fishermen to walk into water prior heading out to bait. When targeting, they are also required to pack some essential waterproof gear. However, this guy has truly improved his method.

Fishing Is Therapeutic

If you have a keen interest in fishing, it is needless to say how many therapeutically benefits fishing has to offer. Luckily, this avid fisherman can own a boat, and at the same time, help others.

Loungin’ Around

As we have already mentioned above, fishing can be an exhausting business because of the patience it requires. Also, he designed the perfect small fishing boat for one. Since fishing trips may engage you for long hours of day, it is much better to sit on a comfy seat. A motor is also attached to his floating… thingamabob.

Wrong Way

It’s the other way around dummy!

To own a boat is a luxury. Not anyone can afford one. On that note, not anyone SHOULD afford one. People should have a license for responsibility before they even have a bank account

Flash Flood Fishing

That's an opportunist - making lemonade out of lemons. It might be flooding all around, but this guy knows how to turn around the situation. I envy these people. When floods are on their way - stock up on your beers and get your pool and fishing rod out.

Requirements Necessary

Yet another sign and another set of rules to follow. But this time, they’re funny. Asking your dog to keep its owner on a leash at all times. Or that you are allowed to swim only if you have fins, gills, or feathers. When rules are made so humorous like this one, maybe some would love to obey it as well.

Couple’s Getaway

So romantic, isn't it? That's one way to stay single your whole life. If you do bring your date, partner or wife, make sure she' is dressed for it, or even wants to be there. Not only is this woman on the phone, but she is also wearing heels. With that footwear choice, it is obvious that she had no interest in partaking in the activity that day.

Strong Follow Through

Just like bowling, you need to know when to release! And if your fishing guru tells you to follow through - this is not what he means. This guy wanted to cast his line very far into the water. However, he forgot the cardinal rule of just following through with his arms. By the looks of him, it could be his first time.

Now That’s A Reel

An essential tool you must have while fishing is the Reel. Whether it's your bathroom or fishing, it has many uses. While in fishing, it helps control your line and, in the washroom, it helps you in other fields.

Not Today Fisherman

Who wouldn't like to catch a hefty fish? But it definitely requires a great deal of effort. To reel a large fish can be pretty hard, and to keep it could sometimes be harder. However, this fisherman must have thought differently. He single-handedly tried to lift the fish up into the boat. But the fish had a different idea of what his future would look like, so it hit him with its backfin on his head, and dove away.

Cat Burglar

Something tells me, these fishermen are about to get very little for their efforts. Ignoring the stealthiest thief in town means you are better off catching and releasing than giving freebies to a catnip addict. Honestly, I don't blame the cat. When the buffet is opened once a year, you eat 'till you pass out.

Broken Dreams

While searching for the perfect fishing spot, sometimes you get in trouble too. Bad incidents happen without knowing. For instance, this man never expected this to happen.

Never Leave Home Without A Ruler

All fishermen want fish to be bigger and stronger. How can they tell? They have measuring equipment, so they can later take selfies with the fish they catch and see the size. This guy has it all on himself. He will never forget his stuff back home.

Enough Food For A Month!

Seems like this guy has found himself a meal for the next 30 days. The captured fish resembles a Goldfish but it's not. In fact, it’s a Koi Carp that was caught in Southern France, and weighs around 30 lbs. This giant creature must have given our fisherman a hard time to reel out, but clearly not good enough to win the fight.

Recycled Lure

Beer and fishing. They go together like milk and cookies. Eco-friendly fishermen never leave their surroundings untidy, so they recycle, and isn’t this an amazing way to do it?

Bird’s Nest

There are many different types of fishing rods you can use. One of the more popular rods to use is the bait caster. But if you've never used one, you could run into some trouble. It's not an automatic spool, so you need to use just the right amount of pressure to control it. If you're inexperienced - you could find yourself in a situation like this guy in the picture. Have a great rest of the day fixing it!

Rod Stands

A minute to relax while fishing is essential to keep your energy high and ready. That’s why we have rod stands. They provide us a way of fishing while not fishing. It allows fishermen to step away for a few minutes so that they can relax a bit. Unless, of course, you forgot your stand at home. That’s what good friends are for.

Someone Got Caught


This time it’s not the fish that got caught, but the fisherman. While this situation is not real, it sure looks like it is. The fishing boots fit perfectly in this catfish’s mouth and it appears to be one scary situation.

This Is My Territory

Who's fishing who? This guy was having a nice quiet fishing weekend when all of a sudden this crocodile jumped at him. This is not what he expected when he set out in the morning. He barely escaped. Thank god someone was there to... capture it all.

Sewer Fishing Gone Wrong

These teens call themselves pioneers of sewer fishing. They live in Texas and they go fishing in sewer holes. One of his YouTube videos went viral for catching a large bass. In fact, his crazy fishing strategy works well for himself.

Looking For Something?

With long-hours of wait, fishing can be boring for many. Things get even worse, when you go home empty-handed. Overall, it adds up to your frustrating experience and a picture like this went viral as the guy couldn’t take it any longer so he decided to look for the fish.

Snack Table

Fly fishing and snacking don't go too well together. The former requires you to be in water all the time, whereas the latter needs some type of dry table. How can a fisherman possibly enjoy both at same time? Take a look. This guy nailed it big time.

A Smart Fish

Ever seen a fisherman get outsmarted by a fish? Well, here you can see one. Fish can be clever and tricky. Take this fish for example. It swam between the two fishing rods and showed off how smart it is.

Catch Of The Day

This man with a smile on his face must have caught something good. And big. By looking at the picture, you can see that the size of the fish he caught is almost at the same size as the woman. He had to capture this moment as proof to show others about how giant the fish was in reality!

Surprise!
