Needlefish are elusive prey that require a quick eye and a deft hand to catch. Synonyms for "catch of needlefish" may include landing, hooking, snaring, trapping, netting, snagging, or capturing. These terms all imply a successful acquisition of the needlefish, whether through patience and skill with a fishing rod, a cleverly-set trap, or deft maneuvering with a net. While the thrill of the catch is a hallmark of any fishing or hunting expedition, it is important to remember the value of conservation and responsible stewardship of these unique and sometimes vulnerable species.
