Out on a fishing expedition, and the fish aren't biting. Suddenly, there's a snag on the line. Someone's taken the bait; hook, line, and sinker. A quick flick of the rod and a frantic reeling in reveals your prize to be... an old boot. Dammit. Several false alarms and several boots later, you start to wonder. Why are there so many boots? Fish don't wear boots, hell, they don't even have feet. Yet there seem to be more boots in the water than there are fish. And it's not just boots, either. Spare tires, tin cans, other useless junk... why does it seem like you're fishing in Lake Erie? Well, you're just having a bad run of luck. The bane of fishermen in old cartoons and fishing minigames alike, Fishing for Sole is when you seem to pull just about everything out of the water... except for fish. Of course, there is also magnet fishing, where a person has a strong magnet on the end of that fishing line and is trying to get metal objects under the water on purpose. Compare I Got a Rock and My New Gift Is Lame for similar lucklessness in receiving gifts. Contrast Rod And Reel Repurposed; the character tries to use their fishing rod for something other than fishing. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The game both plays this straight and subverts it. Non-fish objects that you can catch include the usual junk like sticks, cans, and old cartwheels, but also some good things such as an empty bottle, a bag of rupees, or the most effective fishing lure in the game. The sign in the fishing hole area warning people not to throw junk in the water might be a Lampshade Hanging, or it might just be a clue about dredging up the good stuff. The game even seems to imply that fishing up an Empty Bottle is a more valuable treasure than any fish and snagging it helps with the litter problem since you're recycling the bottle. |

Happens also in the fishing minigames at Gaia Online. Interestingly enough, you can trade your garbage for special hats at the fishing shop, which in turn managed to create a market for lake garbage. Like the saying goes, one man's rubbish is another man's treasure... The short-lived minor meme: "Johnny K. is a litterbug", referring to the amounts of trash that could be dredged up by Gambino Island. |

It can happen in the Animal Crossing series. You can get boots, cans, and tires. It's impossible to know that they're junk ahead of time, since they look and fight back just like real fish. (No idea how or why they fight, but they do.) In City Folk, some villagers may end up locked out of their houses, leaving you to fish for the key. In New Leaf, you can prevent this by enacting the "Beautify Our Town" ordinance which, among other effects, keeps you from fishing up garbage. In New Horizon, there's a number of DIY recipes that use the junk you fish up, making them genuinely desirable for a change; for instance, a tin can can be recycled into a thumb piano or a planter for a succulent plant, while managing to catch two boots allows you to refurbish them into a pair of wearable "recycled boots". | |

In Stardew Valley, you can fish up all sorts of junk, including seaweed, pond algae, broken glasses, trash bags, discarded CDs, and unopened cans of Joja Cola. Fortunately, you can put trash items into a Recycling Machine to convert them into useful resources, and any seaweed or algae you fish up can be used in certain cooking recipes. | |

In episode 14 of Persona 4: The Animation, when Yu is spending time with Hisano, she mournfully throws away the comb her late husband gave to her years ago, which Yu notices that it's caught in the fins of the River Guardian. Conveniently, the featured product the next morning on Tanaka's Amazing Commodities is a fishing set, which he orders and uses it to try and get the comb back. One whole day later, he's in front of several buckets of garbage including the usual boot, a pile of jars and a rubber ducky. He then puts on his glasses to the tune of "Reach out to the Truth" and pretends to invoke his Persona Izanagi and finally catches the River Guardian, getting the comb back. | |

Power Rangers Samurai recycled the plotline, but not the gag - in that episode, anyway. It shows up in "Runaway Spike" instead, where Bulk and Spike end up finally getting some work helping Antonio with his fish business. They actually manage to bring in a fair few fish, while it's Antonio who ends up reeling in a boot. | |

While fishing in World of Warcraft with fishing skill lower than the required for the zone, significant part (up to all of them) of catches will be useless junk, like twigs...and occasionally An Old Boot (which can't even be worn). However, even at high enough levels to not catch any junk, plenty of actual fish is useless to the degree of not even being worthy Shop Fodder. It also sometimes is inverted, with rare non-fish catches being more valuable, or at least cosmetic. And once you reach a high enough skill level, you ''can'' fish up wearable footwear (and +15 Intellect isn't all that bad when you're a level 44 caster). |

Persona 4 Golden: The lowest-rank "fish" you can catch at Shirichi Beach is a tire. It's completely useless, but fishing there can also net you the Joke Weapons for every party member (except Chie, ironically enough). This results in the protagonist fishing up objects like bus stop signs, benches, a drill and an antique flintlock pistol. | |

In Warframe, you can fish while roaming Earth's Plains of Eidolon or Venus' Orb Vallis, and if you miss your intended catch there's a small chance you'll reel in a Grineer or Corpus trooper's boot instead; you'll also get a brief banjo ditty or electronica tune to go with it, as opposed to the more triumphant tune for a regular catch. Finally, whilst you can sell the boots as Shop Fodder, you can choose to mount them on trophy boards and display them in your Orbiter. Humorously, it isn't just the player that can experience this—idle comments from the Grineer defector known as Kahl indicates that he also sometimes ends up with boots when he goes fishing. However, since the boots he fishes up are the same model worn by Grineer Lancers like him, Kahl doesn't mind because hey, free spare boots. |

On Deadliest Catch this is the basis of many of the pranks that crab boat crews try to pull on each other. This comes in two flavors: One version is to haul up a crab pot belonging to another boat, dump out whatever crab is already in said pot, and load it with other stuff (garbage is one common example). Sometimes, to add more insult, the pot would also be tampered with (welding the door shut is common; one boat also slipped a section of pipe down a crab pot's line so as to essentially make it difficult for the targeted boat's crew to haul it up). The second, wackier version is to replace the crab pot in question with something else entirely. The examples shown in the series were a porta-potty and a wrecked pickup truck, the latter of which impressed even the victims! |

The Sims: Happens in The Sims 2: Seasons. Not only do you catch boots, but you can put them in your blender and drink them and watch your Sims have wacky reactions to boot smoothies. You can also have them mounted on the wall like a prized catch. Averted in The Sims Medieval. You can fish all you like and you only ever catch fish. The pond near your home in MySims has Tire Essences to be fished up... which is good, because some Tasks require them. One fishing spot in MySims Kingdom has a boot... armor-style. Indeed, several pieces of armor can be found, some by fishing. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening has a guy fishing up a "necklace" belonging to the local mermaid (in the Japanese version, it's her bra). The remake on the Nintendo Switch would also add a Fairy Bottle that could be caught in the Fishing Minigame. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The game both plays this straight and subverts it. Non-fish objects that you can catch include the usual junk like sticks, cans, and old cartwheels, but also some good things such as an empty bottle, a bag of rupees, or the most effective fishing lure in the game. The sign in the fishing hole area warning people not to throw junk in the water might be a Lampshade Hanging, or it might just be a clue about dredging up the good stuff. The game even seems to imply that fishing up an Empty Bottle is a more valuable treasure than any fish and snagging it helps with the litter problem since you're recycling the bottle. |

There's actually a special enhancement exclusively used to invoke this trope in Final Fantasy XI, although the situation is reversed compared to World of Warcraft, as most items fished up really are junk, and most of the fish will result in a better profit(Although the junk was more valuable before, but it got heavily nerfed due to massive RMT exploiting). | |

In StreetPass Mii Plaza's "Ultimate Angler", boots are one of the "junk" catches you can fish up (alongside cans, seaweed, and driftwood). If you don't have any bait colors that the area's fish like, these junk catches are all you'll be getting, although there's a chance you'll get junk even if you do have the right bait. | |

Parodied extensively in the Futurama episode "The Deep South", when the crew goes fishing, Leela catches a boot with a harpoon. Then she gets something that must be good, since it's 20 times heavier than a boot... and it's a crate containing 10 pairs of boots. She gets confident about the next one since the thing is clearly moving... and then pulls up a boot being eaten by Zoidberg. And they were fishing this at the exact center of the Atlantic Ocean. | |

In Minecraft, it is possible to catch worn leather shoes. So is catching raw leather, bones, enchanted artifacts (including fishing rods), as well as actual fish. You can even enchant your fishing rod to catch better random objects — the "luck of the sea" enchantment decreases the odds of "junk" items like sticks, and increases the odds of "treasure" items like enchanted books. The weirdest part is that, whenever a fish is about to bite, you can see a trail of bubbles meander over to your hook... this also happens if you catch an inanimate object. Apparently boots can swim. | |

Two amusing details: Those Boots are actually equippable an an Accessory item, which is somewhat odd unless they always come in pairs.

Torchlight and the Fate series involve fishing minigames where the fish sometimes contain items. It's usually jewelry or gems, but sometimes other things. There are also actual fish, which when fed to your pet turn it into a powerful Pet Monstrosity. The really funny part is when you get an eight-grid-cell artifact shield out of a one-cell fish. Torchlight in particular gives out an inordinate number of magic boots when fishing. |

The pond near your home in MySims has Tire Essences to be fished up... which is good, because some Tasks require them. | |

In the Ben 10: Omniverse episode "Gone Fishin'", Ben turns into Ripjaws in an effort to catch fish more quickly. Even then, he ends up with a boot for his efforts. | |

In Samurai Sentai Shinkenger episode 7, the blue ranger has to go fishing for his mecha. He's shown pulling up a boot, which he adds to a pile of trash. Power Rangers Samurai recycled the plotline, but not the gag - in that episode, anyway. It shows up in "Runaway Spike" instead, where Bulk and Spike end up finally getting some work helping Antonio with his fish business. They actually manage to bring in a fair few fish, while it's Antonio who ends up reeling in a boot. |

Calvin and Hobbes, having been stranded on an island for 50 years, are forced to eat the tires they catch in Calvin & Hobbes: The Series. Except the whole thing was really All Just a Dream. | |

Occurs in some of the Harvest Moon games that feature fishing, such as Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The very first game, for SNES, randomly shows boots or cans when fishing attempts fail. The player can't pick them up, however; they just vanish after a moment. In Harvest Moon DS, you actually have to catch a Bottle so you can propose to the mermaid, Leia. |

Raft has fishing, and lets you catch various odd decorative items besides fish; old toys, a candle in a bottle, and a shoe, among others. The shoe can also double as a planting pot for small crops. | |

This is a common gag in Chuck Billy's stories from Monica's Gang. One short was about his cousin catching a pair of shoes which he uses for a long Chain of Deals that ends with him buying a new pair of shoes. He then wonders if all the time spent was worth it. Another one has him catching more and more stuff, even a 'car', and then he says "Now there must be nothing else left", and he is right, there's no more water.´ |

In Illusion of Gaia, there's a man fishing on a pier in the starter town. If the Random Number God is feeling especially generous, he'll pull up a pot with a Red Jewel inside. Better not leave town before he catches it. | |

A Time Out of War: Two Union soldiers on picket duty declare a truce with their Confederate opposite so they can go fishing in the river. When one of the Union men hooks something in the river, the Confederate thinks it's a catfish, because it isn't moving. It's the dead body of a Union cavalryman. | |

Terraria version 1.2.4 adds fishing to the gameplay. There are several "failure" items that can be caught if the lake is too small, like old shoes, seaweed, and old tin cans. So if you start getting these, what you have to do is to make the lake larger and the fish will find their way in, no matter how the lake was made. If it's too small, you get junk. If it's large enough, there will be fish. Even if you spawned the water from thin air into some random hole. | |
