Fishing and beer: one of our more popular t-shirts here at Printshirts, which to virgin fishers may seem confusing. What is the appeal of sitting in the same place for hours on end, waiting for a fish that may never come? What many people don’t understand is there is a certain beauty behind the combination of a good catch and your favourite beverage. To emphasise this point, we have compiled some of the funniest gags and gaffs on the subject to educate you on the joys and glory of a day in the life of an alcoholic angler. Enjoy!

Fishing and Beer : A husbands dilemma
A guy had planned a fishing trip to his favourite fishing spot on the flats of Florida.
He packed and began the trip to the water.
He launched his boat, motored to his sea trout honey hole, and began fishing.
Instantly, he caught the biggest trout he’d ever caught.
He cast out again and was delighted to catch an even larger trout.
Every cast, he caught a trophy fish.
Then his mobile phone rang; it was the hospital telling him his wife had been admitted to the emergency room.
She may die, they told him,
The fisherman is worried, but he wants to catch the world record trout, so he decides to have just a few more casts.
He pulls in three more really huge trout, but his conscience begins to get the better of him, so he reluctantly pulls anchor and motors back to his car to go to the hospital.
Running into the emergency room, he meets up with a stern-looking doctor.
The doctor sees the man dressed for fishing and scolds the husband: “Your wife has been at death’s door for hours now. You kept fishing after you were called, didn’t you? You ought to be ashamed!”
The fisherman sobbed, ashamed of his actions.
“Well,” said the doc, “I hope you had a good time; your wife will survive, but your fishing days are over…
She will require constant care from now on… 24 hours per day. You will have to do everything for her.”
The fisherman sobbed, “Oh God, I didn’t think it was that bad, I feel terrible!!!!”
The doc grinned and nudged the fisherman with his elbow…
”Just kidding, buddy… she’s dead. How many did you catch?”

Fishing and Beer: A death in the family
One day, two men Dave and Barry were out fishing.
A funeral service passes over the bridge they’re fishing by, and Dave takes off his hat and puts it over his heart. He does this until the funeral service passes by.
Barry then said, “Are you okay Dave? I’ve never seen this side to you before!”
Dave then replies, “It’s the least I could do. After all, I was married to her for 30 years.”

Fishing and Beer: Intelligence test
Three fishermen were fishing when they came upon a mermaid, the mermaid offered them one wish each so the first fisherman said: “Double my I.Q” so the mermaid did it and to his surprise, he started reciting Shakespeare.
Then the second fisherman said: “Triple my I.Q.” and sure enough the mermaid did it, amazingly he started doing math problems he didn’t know existed.
The third fisherman was so impressed he asked the mermaid to quadruple his I.Q and the mermaid said “Are you sure about this? It will change your whole life!”
The fisherman said “yes”.
So the mermaid turned him into a woman…

Fishing and Beer: A bad day at the office
Jim got up bright and early one weekend and headed to the local river. He fished all day long but didn’t catch a thing. On the way home, he stopped at the fish market.
“I want to buy the three biggest Carp you’ve got,” he said to the owner.
The owner starts to bag up his order when Jim says, “No need for that, just throw them at me.”
“Why would I do that?” the owner asked.
“So I can tell my mates that I caught three fish today!”

Fishing and Beer: He’s got worms!
Chuck had been out on the ice all day without seeing a single fish. Not even a nibble. He decides that today’s not the day and starts to pack up, when this old guy walks up.
Without saying a word, he cuts a hole a few feet from Chuck and immediately catches a fish.
The old guy coughs, baits his hook, and within seconds, there’s another fish on his line. This happens two, three times within as many minutes.
Chuck can’t believe his eyes. He’s been out here all day without seeing a single fish. He walks over to the man and asks, “What’s your secret?”
“Woohattakipowrmwm” the old man answers back.
“What did you say?” replies Chuck.
The man looks over, spits out a mouthful of worms on the ice and says, ”You have to keep your worms warm.”
And there you have it. 5 jokes to brighten up your day. Maybe you could re-tell them on your next adventure into the world of carp and catches. Maybe you could buy the t-shirt behind the jokes! Find it on our website right HERE.
Whatever your preference, hopefully now you see the sport of fishing is much more than a past time for old men and their addiction to Budweiser.
SEE YOU AT THE LAKE!
