'''Fishing''' is the practice of capturing [[fish]] and other water-borne species for the purpose of consumption, sales, or research. Fishing can be either a [[sport]] or [[hobby]] by individuals, or a commercial enterprise. As a sport, fishing is licensed and regulated similar to [[hunting]] and many people enjoy both hobbies.<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/fishing</ref> In internet slang "phishing" refers to the obtaining of user's details through seemingly legitimate means.
