Fish Bait Puns

Standoffish

Once that get a taste, they're hooked.

I told him that's debatable

That's a can of worms I don't want to open.

A hookworm

He's really into podcasting!

He caught all sorts!

I thought I was in treble, but in the mid-dle of my trip, I figured out I was just going to get bass.

Now I’m hooked

Me; "Not on porpoise"

He laughed 12 year old girl next to us cringed and said "porpoise... really?" Joke had desired effect.

Once you catch a fish, it'll be hooked.

"Master Bait"

I replied "just giving them a taste, soon they'll be begging for us to HOOK them up"

After I said it, we both laughed for a few minutes and I knew I had to share it with you guys.

Thank you to the Disney employee that noticed my Reddit alien shirt last week and suggested r/dadjokes. I forgot how entertaining this group is :)

A profishional.

Because they are always trying to hook up!

You can’t use advertising as fishing bait.

My old man is quite a character. He once took my sister and I freshwater fishing and taught us how to bait a hook with nightcrawlers. We were perhaps 7 or 8, and somewhat sheltered, so of course what happened next went right over our heads.

Dad: hey, kids! Which of you is better at baiting a hook? Which of you is the •removes sunglasses• master baiter?

My sister and I, of course, immediately begin arguing about it. That wily old man had us going back and forth "I'm the master baiter!", "No, I am!", "No, me!". Dad, meanwhile, was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.

Tl;dr- my Dad is a fucking smart ass

Apparently, the fish love click bait.

edit:- rod*

The father is showing his son how to prepare the fishing rod, how to set the line, and how to affix the bait. Father: "Now son, you can use many different kinds of bait. This worm, for example." The father says as he weaves the worm onto the hook and casts the line. Son: "What happens next dad?" As if on cue, the father pulls against the line, calling forth a panicked fish from the water. The son exclaims in amazement, as the father prepares the line for his next cast. He reaches into the tackle box, and beings to attach something to the hook. Son: "Dad, what kind of bait is that?" Father: "This is clickbait son." Son: "What happens next dad?" Father: "What happens next will shock you."

My friend invited me over to play the new Zelda, instead we played a fishing game. I feel like I got the bait and Switch.

Out fishing:

Dad: "Son? Did you just put that worm in your mouth? What is wrong with you?"

Son: "Dad, are we having a "eated-da-bait"?"

Dad: "You're grounded...when we get home I'll pick out a book and you better read the entire thing by tonight."

Son: "Says you with baited breath."

gets home...

Son: "Daaaaad! THE DIET OF WORMS!!!!!!!!!?"

While fishing with a friend, his dad and his grandpa, we weren't having any luck.

Friend: "I just need one stupid fish to bite this bait."

Friend's Grandpa: "You need one that didn't go to school"

Friend's dad: "But they are all in schools!!"

My dad was taking us fishing & we stopped off to get bait. So the guy behind the counter said, "That'll be two dollars for the worms, and fourteen cents for the tax."
"That's okay," my dad said, "We don't need tacks. They'll stay on the hooks by themselves."
I think the worm guy is still chuckling.

and we went to the corner store to get bait. The owner has a thick Asian accent, so when my dad asks for worms and the man asks "Worms, for fishing?", fishing sounds like pissing. He goes into the back room to get them, and he's back there for a while. My dad says "It's okay, LumbaJackCassidy, he probably had to take a fish!"
