Kids don’t usually love fish. They tend not to like the taste, they don’t like the way they look, and they’re not a fan of how they feel under their fingers, either. But, if they catch one, they get to hold it up for the camera proudly. Of course, the fish might have other plans.
Here, a young angler was trying to show off her latest catch, but the fish made a well-timed leap out of her hands. The little fisher is taken aback, and the fish cries, “freedom!” Good luck getting back to the river, buddy.
Anything in There?
All the way back in 1937, fishermen were a little younger. This tyke has hauled a huge catch onto his chosen dock, and now he's taking a look in to make sure there are no treasures inside. It's been known to happen – wedding rings, money, car keys. Fish like to eat anything they can, and shiny stuff especially.
We don't know what kind of fish that is, and we don't really want to know, but it looks like you could fit a lot of treasures inside. Keep looking, kid; you might just find something nice.
They Won't Stop Wriggling
This lady was proud of her catch, but her catch wasn't prepared to give up just yet. It was flopping and jumping around, and someone with the fisherwoman was able to snap a pic at the perfect time. Yes, even if they don't have claws or horns, fish can still give you a walloping.
Even if they're out of the water, they'll do whatever they can to try and get back in the water and swim away. Hold tight – they're slippery, and they won't stop trying to get away until they have nothing left.
Loaded for the Next Cookout
This fivesome of fishermen are holding up their catches proudly for the camera, and we spy seven nice snags, from small but still proud to an immense sea beast that looks like it belongs in a historical novel about a whaling vessel.
Everybody looks plenty pleased with the fish that they've hauled in, hats, sunglasses, and smiles. There are a couple of amazing examples of fish that could feed a family for an entire day, and you know what that means – the neighbors are getting some fishy gifts.
Ah, Naw, That Ain't Real
That has to be photoshop or something, right? How could a creature that deformed actually survive for any amount of time? And look at the fish it's holding! We kid, we kid. Really, that's one unique-looking fish.
The huge eyes, the oddly-shaped body, the tiny fins on the sides, the fin that stretches out under it...it's all the strangest parts of the ocean mashed into one creature that a guy managed to haul into a boat. At least it doesn't seem to be too big – we might never go near the water again if it was a big fish.
