Fish are suckers
I overheard someone say last night that they went fishing earlier in the day. Someone inquired about the fish at that particilar location by asking how he did to which the fisherman answered, "the fish were f'ing lazy today." It got me thinking from a fishes perspective.
We all have days when we are lazy. It could be after a long weekend, on a day off when you have nothing to do, or it could be for no apparent reason at all, maybe even genetics. But it is difficult to imagine a fish that is lazy. Sure, I used to enjoy the homemade meals that came with living at home, but had there been a hook attached to my food, one that took me out of my house when I bit it, I would have no longer take these meals for granted. I would probably have been freaked out by any food that I saw and take extremely small bites.
But apparently lazy fish don't care. They get caught once, released, caught again on another day, released (if they are small or lucky), caught again, and the cycle continues. But imagine if you were a fish, a lazy fish at that. You have a worm, stink bait (or a lure of someone elses choice) in front of you and you bite without thinking. F*&^%$ S#@! you would think after getting hooked for the 10th time in 10 days. How could you be so stupid? And then you remind yourself that you are a fish. You don't fight as you get pulled in, that way the fisherman thinks you're a sucky fish and will be willing to throw you back in. You hang there while he pulls you out of the water and you realize the fisherman was like 4 years old and you got caught on a scooby doo fishing pole. Man life sucks, but you get another chance to do the same thing tomorrow as the kid throws you back in. And it's about that time you realize, I am one damn lazy fish.
