We can do it, so it makes sense that monkeys can do it to some extent. I think some species of primates (besides ourselves) also use some rudimentary tools for other things.
The proof was demonstrated when researchers discovered little monkey boats littered with little monkey beer cans.

Several years ago I took my little nephew fishing. As he caught a fair sized crappie I exclaimed “Look at that little monkey fish”
I subsequently got fired from my announcing job for Monday night football pewee league
If you give a monkey a fish, you feed him for a day........If you teach a monkey to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
The way Bears catch Salmon in the river has more in common with “fishing” then the actions of these Monkeys.
Give me a yell when the Monkeys are sitting in a boat drinking beer.
“If you provide them with an opportunity to get something tasty, they will do their best to get it.”
That’s nothing. I’ve heard that with a little patience you can even teach a Texan to fish. Gotta watch ‘em though or they’ll eat the bait.
