Come on, Jump in – the Water’s Great!
Does he even know? Is he even aware that an apex predator is so close to him? Is he about to take a dip, or even just dip his fishing line into the water without being aware that one of the natural world’s most dangerous creatures is mere feet away?
Yes, we’re all tempted to bring out our favorite quotes from “Jaws,” but remember that you can also come up with something on your own! Go on, be creative. Like how this guy is about to be incredibly creative with the words that he says once he notices the shark.
No, I Swear It Was That Big, I Even Have a Picture
While it seems like this picture was intended to mislead, it becomes pretty obvious that it's just a goof. Still, we have to give props to whoever gave this a try the first time. The composition is such that it's almost impossible to tell that the guy is actually a little action figure.
He has a real cable-knit sweater on, even if it is in miniature, the angle is such that you can't see any of the plastic joints and a minimal amount of skin, and there's nothing else in the picture that would give people a sense of scale.
Ready, Set, Go!
Yes, ladies and gents, it's a picture of childhood. Taken in August of 1953, spending time at the water to get out of the hot sun and forget that school was fast approaching. All kinds of boys and girls – and even some adults – are lined up with their fishing poles trying to grab something out of the water.
Who will be the first? Who will get the most? Is there a prize for the biggest catch? Maybe nothing physical, but you know there will be chatter about the most talented angler after the day is over.
Point That Somewhere Else
This guy had a lot of great fish pics to choose from, but the one where he's holding a shark is probably the best choice, since how often do you get to just hold a shark and think, “Yes...'Twas I who defeated this fearsome beast!”? Maybe once in your entire life, and this guy has just checked that off his list.
Admittedly, it is one of the smaller sharks found in the ocean, but that's like saying you can fly one of the smaller planes. It's an accomplishment, one way or another.
You Don't Want to Eat It Anyway
Just in case you aren't aware, Lutefisk is only technically fish. It's fish that has been kept in a bucket of literal poison for a long time, after which you take it out, wash it off, and then – incredibly – eat it.
There are some other parts to the process in there, but the fact that the words poison and eat are in the same sentence should worry all of us. Ole has requested that there be no lutefisk fishing here, and we aren't about to go against the wishes of such a storied character.
