Snagging, also known as
snag fishing,
snatch fishing, or
foul hooking, is a method of
fishing that entails catching a fish using hooks without the fish having to take the bait with their mouth. This is achieved by pulling the
fishing line out of the water very quickly as soon as any movement is felt on the line, with the intention of piercing the fish in the flesh with the hook. Weighted lures with multiple hooks are often used to increase chances of success.
Some species, such as
paddlefish, are not attracted to bait or lures as they eat
plankton.
[1] While these fish can be taken using nets or spears, snagging is also used.
