angler
Casts for catch
An angler is a person who fishes with a hook and line, especially as recreation rather than profession.
The word emphasizes the sporting aspect of fishing: Weekend anglers lined the riverbank.
Angler also names a type of deep-sea fish that lures prey with a fleshy appendage dangling before its mouth.
