Oh fishing, one of the more calming and nature connected past times we get to enjoy. Though due to its very nature, it is not something we get to partake in nearly often enough, seeing as how there are very few fishing spots within short driving distance from the office. Though, a lunchtime fishing spot would be an amazing addition to any office.

So we figured, that while you might be chained to your desk, dreaming of firing up the outboard on your fly-fishing vessel, we would regale you with some of our favorite funny fishing memes, to help you feel a little less like an angler out of water. And, in the best case, to transport your mind to the marvelous calm and silence that you so desperately crave to feel at your favorite fishing spot. So cast your nets, set your lines and make sure you've got all the bait you need, we are going in.

  •  You’ve gotta be careful with your secret spots. Whether it is on your person or out in the wild, those secrets are yours, and yours alone, to keep. Deciding who you share them with is a big task, and you had better know, that once that genie is out of the bottle there is no putting it back.

  • Hey, every good fishing story needs some sort of epic struggle. Do you think that when Hemingway wrote ‘The Old Man and The Sea’ that he would have based his story on a fisherman battling it out with a regular old catfish? Even if the actual original story did involve a catfish? I just goes to show, that it is not the size of the fish you caught, but the struggle with which it took to catch it.
