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.
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.
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.
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.
Time to Get the Net
Catfish are one of the weirder kinds of sea creatures that people angle for. They have whiskers and huge mouths, and when you get right down to it, they don't look that much like cats. Cats might like the smell of them, but that's about it.
This clustered conglomeration of catfish comes to use during a feeding frenzy. Those open mouths just can't wait for some tasty, nutritious... whatever it is that catfish eat. Bugs or dirt or something like that. Is that why they're called catfish? Do they eat cats?!
