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.
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.
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.
What Kind of Fish Is That?
There are lots of fun treasures to discover in the water, but this is usually one that gets pulled out pretty quickly. Thing is, it looks kind of nice. It likely hasn't been down there for very long, and even if the electronics and the engine are messed up, someone might be able to get some use out of it.
On the other hand, it will be a big cost getting it out of the water, and you can't exactly use your little fishing net. Everybody in the boat will have to haul on their lines to drag it out.
