Lying on the shore with your hook in the water is the laziest. I've had the
most success catching fish by trolling. Fly-fishing is the best fishing,
except when the fish bother you by getting caught on your hook.
The (2nd) bravest fishing I've seen is holding a frying pan in a cataract
and hoping a salmon jumps into it (yes, it worked, and yes, he let it go).
The bravest (stupidist) was spearing a shark 15 feet down and only having a
snorkle. Watching someone to breath that far down and hold that tiger by a
tail was amusing (from a safe distance).
