Dumbest thing you've been asked when fishing?

Its gotta be the Classic "Whatcha Doin, Fishin?" as you stand there at the water with a rod in your hand.

"are there any fish in this water...."

um....nope ..... i'm just practicing

[keeperreaper]

did you catch that here? No I bought it at the store.

"Are you going to keep it?" as the fish is swimming away. (Of course,... I have them trained to swim back after rinsing themselves off)

This is more classic cute than stupid But I will never forget it
I used to fish with this kid that was a wise ass we were going trout fishing and we stopped at the store for a couple of things, in the fishing Dept. there is a 17 yr old kid with his little sister 4 or 5 My friend asked her " What are you fishing for?" the little girl turns and replies "Fish" It just stole my heart. so cute

I posted this a couple of years ago. 2:00AM. Black Point. 100 yards out on the reef and a RI DEM officer is shining a spotlight on me and asking me what I am doing. I got a 10" rod in my hand, a surf bag, waders and a splash top on.

I told him I was trying to build a row boat.
