I farmed that one?

[Ornery Bob]

I watch fishing videos on YouTube a lot and it seems like the younger guys call it "farming" when they lose a fish before landing it. I assume it means something like sending it back to the fish farm?

Does anyone know where this expression comes from or where it got started? Is it just SoCal teen slang, or is it used elsewhere?

no country for old men...

i think it means like a farmer raising pigs, he feeds them to fatten them up...

when you lose a fish back to the fishery... you just fattened him up (with your bait) for another fisherman or another fish

i could be wrong... (as many point out that i am).
