If the fish is not dead, he might go from lucky to unlucky.

Well, I had a big one, but he got away.

Old man and the sea.

Maybe he means luck getting it in the boat.

Why? Is that a mermaid?

Guy’s glasses are fine. His brain needs work.

He got some tail.

Call me Ishmael

His boat has a “tiller” or rudder, but no oars or motor. Also, looking at the situation, he should have, or soon will, tip the boat.

That is the biggest mermaid tale I have ever seen

He’s going to have a whale of a tail!

“Well, yes and no…”

no luck yet, this here is bait

Well … I think I need a bigger boat.

That’s just a minnow to him

Yes, a bit.

No just caught one…

No doubt about it. He needs a bigger boat!

Nah, just caught one.

He caught something but it was just a fluke.

Brings to mind ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ by Ernest Hemingway.

Meh, you know how it goes. I did manage to catch ONE today.

He`s gonna need a bigger boat.

not for long!

Nah, not really, just this one!

This would a good time to practice catch and release.

Monstro, I presume?

“Third one this morning.”

Well, yes and no.

Nah, just this one.
