The first step to catching a fish is to cast the line.
This involves attaching a weight, hook, and bait to the end of a fishing line and then using a rod to propel it into the water.
The weight helps to sink the bait down to where the fish are, while the hook is designed to snag in the fish's mouth.
The bait can be anything from live worms and insects to artificial lures that mimic the appearance of small fish or other prey.
