Saw quite a few of them while on an albacore boat off the SoCal coast. Huge fish with a very small mouth, swims along like it doesn’t have a care in the world. Of course we dropped a line in to try to catch it, but it showed absolutely no interest no matter the bait/lure. They do jump and make quite a splash.

We were sailing between Martha’s Vineyard and land, when we saw one close to the boat. Just rolling from side to side with the top fin sticking out of the water. BIG! But we were not concerned, even tho it was the first time we’d seen one. It was quite placid.

I had one of those once in a 20 gallon aquarium.

A goldfish ate it.

There was this experiment to determine which type of freshwater fish was the toughest.

They put a Trout, a Northern Pike and a Piranha in a large tank. Somebody threw in a goldfish as a joke.

At the end of the week, do you know what was still floating around in that tank?

Piranha crap.

The goldfish lasted about three minutes.

I think not even Stedman has done that.

That supposed to be someone everyone knows? Never heard of him.

Fresh Opah goes for $18/lb here in Hawaii. Very mild flavored white meat fish. Sauteed (not too long) or lightly panko breaded. I use butter/oil with garlic, and homemade tarter sauce.

Very observant!! Looks a lot like him! Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) is only about 47 years old tho....wonder if it is a relative of his.

During the recent hurricane I went several days without caring for my pond and the fish in it.

When I finally finished attending to all the serious matters, and checked in on my fishes, I made a gross discovery.

During the storm a bird fell in the pond. Whether it was alive of dead I do not know, but the Koi, goldfish, and minnows are that bird down to the bone. Everything but the elbows.

Wife did not believe me until I scooped out the pelvis and sorta flinged it at her from across the yard..

I took your advice and threw a bird carcass at my wife as an expression of my great love for her.

Evidently, this ritual does not work outside of Texas.

She knocked me on the head with one of those Swiffer mops.
