Fishing
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. There are many Easter eggs in Path of Exile that are references to a running joke by Grinding Gear Games about the existence of secret gameplay features related to fishing. It has so far not been confirmed that any such gameplay features legitimately exist.
Further information can also be found on poe.fish, a wiki maintained by the Fishing Discord.
