Squirrel fishing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Squirrel fishing is the sporting practice of "catching" squirrels and attempting to lift them into the air using a nut (preferably a peanut) tied to a string or fishing line, and optionally some kind of fishing pole.[1]
There has been some debate over where squirrel fishing originated. The practice was popularized either by Nikolas Gloy and Yasuhiro Endo, at the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University,[2] and by the Berkeley Squirrel Fisher's Club (BSF), an official student group at the University of California at Berkeley.[citation needed] BSF has been featured in the campus newspaper.[3]
