Funny fishing shirts for people who tell the best fish stories
Fishing is about patience, early mornings and quiet water. It's also about the story you tell when you get home — the one where the fish gets a little bigger every time. Our funny fishing shirts celebrate both sides of the sport: the pride of a good catch and the very loose relationship anglers have with measurements.
Every design below is original and drawn in-house, printed on soft, lightweight tees that are comfortable on the boat, at the bait shop or at the backyard barbecue.

How to pick the right funny fishing shirt
- Match the joke to the angler. The storyteller gets Fluent in Fish Tales; the guy who brings a ruler gets Measure Twice, Brag Once; and the woman who actually caught the fish gets I Caught It. He Tells the Story.
- Pick a color he already wears. Every tee comes in ten colors. Black, navy, forest and military green all hide boat grime; sand dune, athletic heather, light blue, natural and white are the lighter picks, and red stands out on the dock. All pair with jeans or shorts.
- When in doubt, size up. Most guys prefer a relaxed fit for fishing — check our size guide.

Yes. Our tees are Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex shirts with a modern retail fit. Most men order their usual size; size up if you prefer a looser, classic fit.
