Classic Funny Fishing Jokes

Catching Fish

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 Steelhead 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 wife that I caught three fish today!”

Pet Fish

A woman is walking on a beach in Texas carrying two Redfish in a bucket. A game warden walks up and asks to see her fishing license.

“I don’t have a fishing license,” says the woman.

“You know it’s illegal to fish without a license, right?” asks the warden.

“I wasn’t fishing, officer. These Redfish are my pets.”

“Your pets?”

“Yes, officer. They like a little exercise, so when the weather’s fine, I take them to the water and let them swim around. Once they’re done, I give them a whistle and they jump back into my bucket and we head home.”

The officer isn’t buying a word of it, so the woman says, “Don’t believe me? Watch!” and she throws the fish into the sea.

The warden waits for a minute then says, “Alright, now whistle to your fish and make them jump out of the water.”

The fisherwoman turns to the officer and says, “What fish?”

A Quality Lure

Bob’s walking down the street when he sees a kid sitting on his front porch jigging in a bucket.

As he reaches the kid, Bob stops for a better look. The bucket’s empty.

He asks the kid, “What are you fishing for, son?”

The kid looks up and says with a shrug, “Suckers mainly.”

Bob smiles and asks, “Caught any yet?”

“Yep,” the kid replies. “You’re the tenth.”

Ice Fishing Jokes

A man in shorts and a Hawaiian holding a rod on a sheet of ice, showing the classic setup for many funny fishing jokes.

The Drunken Ice Fisherman

A Canadian angler had a few too many to drink and decided to go ice fishing. He grabbed his gear, stepped out onto the ice, and started to cut a hole when he heard a booming voice shout:

“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”

The man jumped up and looked around, but he didn’t see anyone. He carried on cutting into the ice, and again, the voice boomed:

”THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”

Still nobody. Was he going mad? The man stumbled to a new spot and started drilling another hole when the voice shouted for a third time:

”THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”

The man looked up into the blinding light and said ”Is that you, God?”

The voice answered, ”NO YOU IDIOT. IT’S THE MANAGER OF THE ICE RINK!”

Traveling Businessmen

Two men from warmer climes were in Minnesota on business and wanted to try ice fishing. They stopped at a bait shop near a frozen lake and went to get some supplies.

“We need an ice pick,” said the first man.

The clerk handed them their gear and wished them happy fishing.

A couple of hours later, the second man came back and said, “We need another ice pick.”

The clerk sold him the pick, and the man wandered off.

An hour later, both men walked into the shop again. They stormed up to the counter and said, “Ice fishing’s terrible. We want our money back!”

The clerk looked confused and asked them, “Are you not having any luck?”

Looking furious, the first man replied, “Of course not! We don’t even have the stupid boat in the water yet!”

Floridians Up North

Two Floridian anglers were out ice fishing during a trip up north. They’d been at it for hours and hadn’t caught a thing. 

“I don’t know what we’re doing wrong,” said the first man.

Just then, a local passed on a snowmobile with a whole bucket of fish on the back.

The second man turns to the first and says, “That’s why we’re not catching anything, we’re not trolling!”

Fresh Bait

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.”

The t-shirt I’m presently wearing says:

My fave fishing joke:
What’s the difference between a hypochondriac and a fishing fanatic?
Nothing. Neither of them have to catch anything to indulge their obsession.

And on a related note:
American beer is like making love in a canoe.
It’s f( )ing close to water.

Here’s hoping for better days to come, sitting in a canoe drinking Canadian beer with some fresh fish to cook on the campfir e.
