In one photo, you can clearly see the lines of the net embedded into it’s flesh.

Too bad the meat went bad, could have supplied a Captain D’s for a year!

Tuna fishing before dawn off New Jersey we had one breach next to the boat once. Kinda funny to hear 40 guys yell “WHOA!” in unison. The “Holy .....”s came afterward.

I imagined they were marks left from a
BBQ Grill not a net.

Yummy BBQ!

I saw my first sunfish at the Monterey aquarium.

It caused be to reflect on the diversity of life on earth.

If you don’t like Sunfish, you suck.

A dozen fried bluegill ain’t bad either.

It’s a monsterously large fish, but must not have many predators. It may not even be that dangerous unless it is fast, aggressive and tends to attack in groups. Look at how small the mouth is in proportion to everything else. I don’t see any big jaw bones to open wide and swallow or bite anything massive. Perhaps it lives mostly on vegetation.

And people say my fear of open water is unfounded!

Good Lord! That just set me back another DECADE while I’m trying to get my nerve up to go on a cruise!

I guess fishermen get used to inhaling air heavy with fish oil. A whiff of that air would knock most people out.
