10 Common Fishing Terms Explained

2.Knot: (1) An insecure connection between your hook and fishing line. (2) A permanent tangle on your spinning reel which forces you to go out and buy a bigger, better, much more expensive rig.
3.Landing Net: A net used to help drag a large wiggling fish, or an inebriated fishing buddy, on board.
4.Live Bait: The biggest fish you'll handle all day.
5.Quiet Water: Your surroundings after you stop cursing your bad luck and fall asleep at the reel.
6.Skunked fisherman: One who returns to the boat ramp many, many hours after his buddies have gone home so that there are no witnesses to his catch or lack thereof.
7.Sinker: (1) A weight attached to a lure to get it to the bottom. (2) The nickname of your boat.
8.Thumb: A temporary hook holder.
9.Treble Hook: Triples the odds of your catching a fish. Quadruples the odds of your getting the hook caught in your thumb (see above).
10.Trolling: What you do after you've lost a $500 rod and reel set-up overboard.
