The art or sport of catching fish with a rod and line and a baited hook or other lure, such as a fly.
1This, however, is not the case; line-fishing is universal, and the lights serve mostly for signals.
2And when we are line-fishing it sucks the bait off our hooks, and sometimes swallows hook and all.
3They go out line-fishing in small boats, which are frequently lost in the fog and never heard of again.
