As a verb, it is the act of catching fish. As a noun, fishing refers to the recreational sport. Most examples of fishing on Danbooru are of the type performed with a fishing rod and baited hook, but methods of fishing vary widely, from fishing with nets to fishing with solar guns and harpoons (spearfishing) to the use of explosives (dynamite fishing). Fishing may be done from a boat, from a shore or pier, or while underwater.
