Fishing

Fishing is a running gag / easter egg in Path of Exile. The long running in-joke by Grinding Gear Games about fishing actually being a mechanic within the game is sometimes getting continued with the addition of yet more small references. To clarify, there are no known or recorded instances of actual fishing or fish-items in the game.
