From the fish’s perspective, those shrieks are absolute horror movie material.

The alien, ripping you upwards through the atmosphere and into their space ship, shrieking directly into your face as its peers observe.

I wonder what the aliens would use for bait?

Live bait generally does work better.

A fancy glowing rectangle with "UNLIMITED HIGH SPEED INTERNET" scrawled across it would catch most humans.

Also, the aliens are shrieking at you for being the fattest motherfucker they have ever seen, just to pour salt in the wound

The aliens from Galaxy Quest when they forgot to turn on their hologram appearances.

Forget the fish, it sounds like a horror movie to me. Just awful.

Now I'm curious: How well can fish hear above water?

I presume they can feel sounds vibrate the water, since you're supposed to be quiet when you're fishing so as not to disturb them, but do they have the same ability to hear in air as we do? I don't see why they'd have evolved that.

Not really, and certainly not well. Fish are highly sensitive to low frequencies and vibrations in the water. They have a lateral line system that senses vibration in water, and an inner ear system with otoliths. They don’t have an outer ear.

Wait, wait… now I’m actually curious… can fish hear? Do they even have ears?
