Fishing can be defined as a long-standing practice, and it has been linked to a major food source since ancient times, when people lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle as they did not have permanent settlements. From the 15th century onwards, however, deep-sea fishing and the fish trade flourished. Since then, with the advancement of technology, better fishing gears have been produced, and gradually more and more recreational fishing methods have also been developed.
Nevertheless, people in the industry did not forget to take pictures to show off to others when they caught a very large fish. While some could not do so, they swore and told their story faithfully to others. Below is a collection of photos taken in the past to let you know the nature of this industry and by looking at them you can understand the veracity of the story they told.
