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?!
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.
Well, If You Say So
We are honestly not sure what this picture is advertising. Is Dave just a cool guy that likes to fish and will almost certainly bring something to drink? We can't think of anything else it could be. Is he the guy that you buy your fishing equipment from so that you aren't just sitting in a boat and drinking?
That still seems like a pretty good time, if we're being honest. Yeah, you won't be catching anything except good memories (as long as you don't drink that much), but there's nothing wrong with that.
All for a Good Cause
If you've ever really been insulted by someone, you might be tempted to recreate a classic scene from “Monty Python's Flying Circus” and slap that person with a fish straight into the water. Well, Ben Fillmore, from the United Kingdom, had a similar idea. He auctioned off the opportunity to slap him with some fish for a charity fundraiser.
The eventual winner, Lucy Berry, paid a total of two hundred and ten pounds for the honor. The money went to the Stroke Charity, which supports people who have had strokes, and everybody was happy. Except for the fish.
