the sad sad saga of the fish

Jun 02, 2008 17:26



So my little brother went fishing the other night and caught three big glorious fish and he was so so proud of his catch. I obliged him by taking photos




Larry, Moe and Curly lying in the sink.

here's the catfish, looking particularly demonic




Some kinda bass. He said largemouth but I dunno




and a brim or bream depending on the drawl. I dunno which is the correct name




All quite delicious fish so we were looking forward to cooking those badboys up. Catfish is my particular favorite.

My brother insisted on putting them in the cooler outside with ice and we were all like " Why not put them in the freezer? " Oh no no no. Had to be the cooler. Lord only knows why, maybe it was like the whole authetic fisherman experience or something? Anyways into the cooler they went.

THE NEXT DAY (insert omninous music here)

...The fish had all mysteriously VANISHED? What happened? Had it been some kind of insidious fish theif loose in the neighborhood? The Bigfoot who had been walking across our roof the other night? Had some Fish Liberation Front released them back into the wild as a form of protest?

Various accusations flew. My mom wandered throughout the house going " HERE FISHY FISHY FISHY " in the hopes they would come leaping Flipper-like into her open arms. Who had taken the fish? Who now was enjoying a particularly delicious fish dinner, reaping the reward of my little bro's hard work? We looked everywhere and my bro pitched a fit but the mystery remained unsolved

UNTIL...

we looked in the OTHER cooler. Uhm. Upps. Yup they were there and had been there...all...day...long. (insert waah-waah-waaaaaah music here)

" They're still good, they're still good! " my brother protested but clearly he was in denial as one whiff of the now quite aromatic fish attested to their inedible condition. Sadly we had to throw them away We observed a brief moment of silence and then took them far into the woods where hopefully a raccoon or Bigfoot will find them and be rather appreciative of the find. It was very very sad :C and my brother was thoroughly disgustipated. I left off saying " WE TOLLLLLD YOU TO PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER " but boy I thought it pretty loud.

So in conclusion...

" It can be fish tiem now plz? "







" LOL SUCKERS NO FISH NO MOAR "

fishing, fambly
