'''Fishing''' is the ancient, worldwide practice of capturing [[fish]] and other water-borne species for consumption purpose. Many methods are used including nets, hooks, spears and baskets.

+

Fishing can be either a [[sport]] or [[hobby]] by individuals, or a commercial enterprise. As a sport, fishing is licensed and regulated similar to [[hunting]] and many people enjoy both hobbies.

+

Commercial fishing uses different techniques and types of fishing vessels. These include longline fishing, driftnetting, and trawling. Longline fishing uses a single fishing line pulled behind the [[boat]] with many hooks attached. Driftnetting is the use of a fishing net suspended in the water which is later retrieved. Trawling is the use of a fishing net dragged behind a boat on the ocean floor. For some non-fish species such as [[crab]], cages known as 'pots' are used and are left in the water with bait, to be later retrieved by the fishermen.

+

In the [[Bible]], fishing is used as a [[metaphor]] for the winning of souls to [[Christ]].
