Summary: The word for fishing refers to the act of hunting for fish, shellfish, squid, octopus, and other edible marine invertebrates. The most common type of fishing is a worldwide sport and hobby that requires equipment such as fishing poles, line, lures and bait. Fishing originated over 10,000 years ago among hunter-gatherer societies. Today, fishing is still a primary means of achieving food, but it is also a trophy sport. Saltwater fishing differs significantly from ice fishing in the equipment and complexity.
