Speaking of mystery fish..
Do any of you know what that trash fish is ....
My buddy and I have always called them 'pilot fish' but they are not a true pilot fish (not the pilot fish that swims alongside sharks, eats their leavings and takes advantage of their larger scarier size).
These are single color 'hitchhikers' with a flat piece of velco on the top of their heads .. you can stick small ones to the boat.
Do they have a name?

If there's no soccer (or fishing) in heaven - I'm not going!

The more I know about something, the more I know that I did not know as much as I thought I knew that I knew.

In the words of the great Doc Holliday, "I'll be your huckleberry"
Next time one of yall catch a Ramora and you have kids on the boat. Take the fish and let him stick to your arm, kids get a kick out of that.
Kids love that as much as having a lizard hanging from you ear by his mouth and waring him like an earring.
The kids will laugh till it hurts.

If we were all crazy, Wouldn't that make us all normal.
