Pronunciation: [fˈɪʃt ˈa͡ʊt] (IPA) 
The phrase "fished out" is commonly spelled with the letter "sh" instead of "s" in the middle - "fish(ed) sh out." This is because the vowels in the word "fish" and the suffix "-ed" form a diphthong, which makes the "s" sound more like "sh." The correct IPA phonetic transcription of "fished out" is /fɪʃt aʊt/, with the "-sh" sound represented by the diphthong /aʊt/.
"Fished out" is a phrasal verb that refers to the act of removing or extracting something from a body of water, typically by using a fishing method. It is often used when talking about catching or retrieving fish, but can also be extended to other objects or items that have been submerged in water and need to be recovered.
In a literal sense, "fished out" describes the process of capturing fish from a body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean, by using techniques like angling, netting, or trapping. It implies the successful retrieval of fish from the water, indicating that the fishing activity has yielded results.
Figuratively, "fished out" can also denote the extraction of an object or item from water. This can include things like retrieving a lost possession that fell into a body of water, salvaging sunken vessels or wreckage, or recovering items thrown into water intentionally or accidentally.
Additionally, "fished out" can be used metaphorically to describe a situation where all available resources or options have been exhausted or used up. In this sense, it suggests that there is nothing left to obtain or gain from a particular situation, as if it has been depleted, just like a fishing location that has been thoroughly fished out. This usage conveys a sense of emptiness or scarcity, where all possibilities have been exhausted.
The term "fished out" is a phrase derived from the verb "fish", meaning to catch or attempt to catch fish. The word "out" in this context is used to convey the completion or exhaustion of a particular action or resource. When something is "fished out", it means that all or most of the fish in a specific area have been caught, resulting in a depletion of the population. The phrase can also be metaphorically used to indicate the depletion or exhaustion of other resources or options.
