fished out
Emptied of catch
Fished out describes a body of water depleted of fish through overfishing: The lake was fished out by commercial operations.
More broadly, it means emptied or exhausted of something: He fished out the last coin from his pocket.
The second sense emphasizes retrieval—pulling something from a container or space, often with effort: She fished out her keys from the bottom of her bag.
