Like fishing for compliments, fishing for fish requires the right bait, the right line, and a friend who is willing to exaggerate. Reel it in with today's Groupon: for $195, you get a four-hour fishing trip for two from The Arizona Fishing Guides (a $325 value).

The Arizona Fishing Guides' team of veteran trawlers leads guests into glassy waters during exciting, instruction-packed fishing trips. Before departing on the four-hour southwestern bass adventure, pairs are equipped with top-notch rods, reel, and tackle. On board one of the company's 21-foot tournament boats, anglers attempt to lure amphibious adversaries away from their subaqueous hideouts, turning to guides for advice and verbal backing when a catch gets mouthy. Participants can personalize their experience by specifying the type of fish they'd like to pursue or simply use the time to net professional tips. Located 45 minutes east of Scottsdale, the largemouth-bass-loaded Saguaro Lake infuses each voyage with picturesque vistas, including towering canyon walls and vegetation flats where frogs are often seen re-shingling the roofs of their lily pads.
