40 Fishing Photos That Deserve A Second Look
Fishing should be a relaxing sport. Cruise out to a good spot at dawn, cast a line, and kick back, waiting for the telling tug at the rod or surface splash that says fish are present. So, then, how did these photographers capture such chaos in their candid fishing shots? A lot can go wrong in the life of a fisherman, though we "dry landers" probably wouldn't understand. You may have to do a double-take to spot the hilarity in these perfectly timed photos!
