Angler For Ever

• Community impact: For communities like fishing villages, fisheries provide not only a source of food and work but also a community and cultural identity.^[16]
• Semantic impact: The expression "fishing expedition" (usually used to describe a line of questioning), describes a case in which the questioner implies that he knows more than he actually does in order to trick the target into divulging more information than he wishes to reveal. Other examples of fishing terms that carry a negative connotation are: "fishing for compliments", "to be fooled hook, line and sinker" (to be fooled beyond merely "taking the bait"), and the internet scam of Phishing in which a third party will duplicate a website where the user would put sensitive information (such as bank codes).
• Religious Impact: Fishing has had an effect on all major religions, including Islam,^[17] Christianity,^[18][19] Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Wicca, Hinduism, Latter Day Saints and the various new age^[20] religions. According to the Roman Catholic faith the first Pope was a fisherman, the apostle Peter,^[21] and a number of the miracles reported in the Bible involve it. Additionally, the Pope's traditional costume includes a fish-shaped hat which some say is a representation of the Philistine god Dagon.
