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.
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.
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.
I Can't Believe You've Done This
While that fish is all caught up in the net, it still seems most shocked about the thing that is hung from its lip. It's looking down as if to wonder when it got a piercing, and who would do such a thing while it wasn't paying attention.
At least now it can work as a hostess in an Olive Garden. The big shocked face, which is common among carp all around the world, makes this a perfect photo for showing off to friends. Just be sure to take the hook out of its mouth before you cook it.
The Little Ones Are the Toughest
While big fish have a ton of power and strength to do some damage if they decide to start thrashing, it's the little fish that seem to be able to keep going for a long time, no matter how long they're out of the water. Even if you have a firm grip on them, they will flail and fling themselves around, most likely hitting someone in the face.
That seems to be the goal, anyway. Other than getting back into the water, we guess. This lady found out the hard way that you have to give some fish their distance.
