And you’re disappointed why?

Well at least Freddy didn’t get fish fried.

…or he’ll beat you with a stick.

I always worry that I’ll snap my pole when I go fishing. But it has never happened.

“Ya shoulda seen the one that got away. HUGE!”

I went fishing at night with my brother right after watching “Creature from the Black Lagoon”. Something snapped my cane pole and I think that we rowed to shore fast enough to pull a skier.

My great weight kept me from an great fate on a plate.

Survival of the fattest?

just goes to prove anything can be a survival trait at some point

remember ‘survival of the hungriest’? (this goes way back to the early strips – couldn’t find it on the web. help, anybody?)

better to be too fat then being on someone’s plate.

Shut up small fry, or you could become big boy’s next meal.

His line wasn’t strong enough! Maybe next time Charlie!

Worked, didn’t it?

Still breathing. I win.

If the point is not to get caught, then Fred’s doing it right.

the 16:8 diet works for fish too

Fat, and boobs, are buoyant.

The line was strong enough, the poll leaves a lot to be desired.

Um; too fat? If he weighed less he’d be better off?

A benefit of a problem.

In this case being fat was a good thing.
