Heh...At least it's not an angry catfish. I've never realized a fish could be so...strong.

Or taste so much like chicken.

He's grinning 'cause - at least - he caught something. If he's like any fisherman worth his lures and waders, that minnow will be a record smallmouth bass by the time he finished embellishing the story.

I don't recall when I last went went fishing but it's been years - maybe it was that ill-fated FishCon that some of us went on after SDCC that time - on a boat with fifty other folks. I caught all of one fish (a small tuna which I gave to another in our group). The main things I recall were the harbor seals cleaning the bait and fish off the lines,seeing the boundary between the US and Mexico, lush green on one side, a dead brown on the other, and watching a drunk who'd spent the whole trip soaking pick up a drawing someone (Gabriel Gentile IIRC) had done of Red Shetland, gazing dully at it for a moment and then taking a big bite out of the drawing. Oh Lawd, everyone's a critic...
