http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(angling) Trawling is a method of fishing that involves pulling a fishing net through the water behind one or more boats. The net that is used for trawling is called a trawl. The boats that are used for trawling are called trawlers. Trawlers vary in size; from small open boats with only 30 hp engines to large factory trawlers with over 10,000 hp. Trawling can be carried out by one trawler or by two trawlers fishing cooperatively (pair trawling). Trawling can be contrasted with trolling, where baited fishing lines instead of trawls are drawn through the water. Trolling is used both for recreational and commercial fishing whereas trawling is used mainly for commercial fishing. Trawling is also commonly used as a scientific sampling, or survey, method.

So basically, Trolling is baiting a hook, and going at a slow to medium speed, dragging your line behind you and waiting for bites..
Which is what forum trolling is. Say something outlandish/evocative/controversial to a community (bait your hook and drag your line) and wait for bites (lulz & popcorn). From this concept trolling forums originally is derived.. It was simply a homonym for a troll, and thus evolved the idea of a forum troll.

Trolling is whenever a boat drops fishing lines in the water at a set depth then goes at a slow speed hoping to get bites from fish.
Its where the forum term 'trolling' originated from. It is also my sig. I thought more people would know this =P | ||
