Yep! You're right. To make it simple...

Bait - is your blog's (content, images and etc.)
Fishes - are the future and former visitors of your site. ;)

“What exactly is linkbait?” you might ask. It’s basically anything that pulls the visitor in and begs to be linked to. “But, isn’t linkbait a shallow trick to get people to your page?” It can be, but that’s not really effective because it won’t sustain traffic or links. Effective linkbait is backed up by good content. Anything can qualify as linkbait: a useful tool, a cool AJAX widget, a great design, a fascinating article, an opinionated blog, a debate, a poll, a contest, a resource, and the list goes on.

Linkbait is essentially a piece of content placed on a web page, whether it's an article, blog post, picture, or any other section of cyberspace - that is designed for the specific intention of gathering links from as many different sources as possible.
link bait can be a gadget on your site that other sites reference.

I view link baiting in more than one way. I could be wrong but... One form could be considered creating good content so that people want to link to you.

the other that I think of

would be going to a site like Yahoo answer and asking some question with one account such as "What exactly is a blue widget used for?"

then using an alternate account to post an answer of like "oh blue widgets blah blah blah...you can go to bluwidgetsdomain . net , they have everything you could ever want to know about blue widgets ;)

Link bait pertains to anything on a website that encourages links from other websites. It's a good way to get backlinks and drive traffic.

Link baiting (or linkbaiting) is the latest buzz word in the SEO world and has come to be the preferred way to natural link building.

It means to create something that naturally attract backlinks for your web page by getting people to talk about it, discussing it on forums, blogging about i, posting it on del.icio.us/Furl/Digg/Shoutwire and linking to it from their sites. It also attracts a lot of visitors.
