**The Bait Was Convincing**
Last weekend, my friends and I decided to go fishing at the local lake, armed with only our hopes and a ridiculously attractive array of lures. One lure looked so lifelike that even I was tempted to take a bite! As we settled into our spot, I proudly cast my line with what I considered the best bait around. To my surprise, I felt a tug almost immediately. Excited, I reeled it in, only to discover that I had snagged a rather annoyed old shoe. Apparently, the shoe’s tragic backstory didn’t translate into a great fishing experience, but it did become the star of our afternoon.
The shoe was so convincing in its appearance that we all took a moment to contemplate whether it was trying to swim away from an unfulfilling life on land. We started talking about its potential struggles in the dating pool, “I mean, who wants to be with a guy wearing old sneakers?” By the time we left, we had created an elaborate backstory for the shoe, complete with a heartwarming redemption arc, proving that sometimes the best catch isn’t the one you hoped for.

I saw the punchline coming a mile away, and yet I was still surprised!
F
So that’s where those blob fish come from 🤔
S
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been on a flat bottomed bass fishing boat in some secluded area, and my friend has a lot to drink and strips naked so, you know, we can fish.
A
Just bros being bros. No homo.
S
No, no, no. Nothing like that. Homo is gay. These guys are just enjoying the company of another man while naked and pretending to fish. Completely different.
A
Look, everyone says it’s not gay if the balls don’t touch. A bro job doesn’t involve the balls touching, so it must not be gay. Q.E.D.
S
I think they’re cheating the system simply because BobbyRae’s balls don’t touch as they’re being held by Uncle Dad.
D
Oh my god thats disgusting. Where are these alcoholic mermen so that I may avoid them?
A
I for one am chortling thinking about how the pre-blackout mods of this sub must be cringing their hearts out about stuff like this making the front page of r/funny.

Seems like Finnish fishing
F
Yes, this actually is a Finnish fish, called “Suklaamonni” [ *Silurus glanis scelerisque* ] . There was a famous short story about an attempted domestication of the species in a documentary series called “Kummeli” in the early 90′. The attempt was eventually unsuccessful, but the series got very popular amongst the Finns.
A
Also bears resemblance to the evasive “Saimaannorppa!” if you’re old enough to remember that 😛
