baited lines in the water and ignoring them for a few hours while you steer

hook and tiring themselves out -- for you.  While this practice has its
merits, it's certainly not the least-laziest means of getting fish out of
the water.

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.

What does successfully catching fish have to do with fishing?  No, no, too
much effort to lob that TNT.  Wakes you up, too.
