Fisherman Fishing With Birds

The practice of catching or attempting to catch fish with a hook is called angling. When angling, it is sometimes expected or required that the fish be caught and released. Big-game fishing is fishing from boats to catch large open-water species such as tuna, sharks and marlin. Noodling and trout tickling are also recreational activities.
Fishing communities
For some communities, fishing provides not only a source of food and work but also community and cultural identity.
