It decided to take someone with it: "Sailfish jumps out of water and impales 73-year-old woman on boat, Florida officials say".
I haven't seen any updates on the woman's condition; I pray that she is ok and will recover quickly. As for me, I've been thinking of taking up fishing again (a real passion when I was a kid), but I'll be sticking to freshwater lakes and ponds.
Did you know that catfish (which reside in Freshwater) keep on growing until they die, and can get large enough to pull a man into the water for a meal?

I’ve spoken with divers who have encountered catfish around dams big enough to treat the divers as prey.
Not that you should worry, or anything, Paco. I’m just saying, is all.
Maybe she's lucky it was a sailfish, and not a swordfish. At least, you'd think maybe a swordfish would be a little more accomplished in swordplay than a sailfish.

ReplyDeleteYou might try using dynamite. I hear catfish and hushpuppies is good eating!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a time saver. Cleaned and made into nuggets in one kaboom. Bu it's illegal. Catfish and cornbread or hushpuppies is good eating! My parents used a string of coffee cans with hooks attached. You'd watch from shore to see the cans take off, then go pick em up. My Mom started to pull a can, and her exclamation of "OH MY GOD!" was heard across the lake as the massive head of a Bull Catfish emerged. Of course, the head is the only part that is large. But it was good eating.
DeleteIllegal? I thought laws were so 1775, or so sayeth the donks, Deborah.
