Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for October 14, 2024

Obie should have let go at Bermuda.

I know that one. It was Tommy “Toobig” Tuna. You don’t mess with Toobig.

He snagged a Portuguese fishing boat?

Maybe the mermaid was your Mom, Wallace?

They found Obie in Portugal 10 years later, he was already an accomplished guitarist in a Fado band.

Something’s fishy about this.

Honestly? If some fish dragged me to Portugal, I would give him a tip and a thank you and look for the next fado bar.^^

I’ve caught fish big enough to jerk my kayak around a little, but only a few times..

I was fishing at an inlet and I caught something big. Reeled in and the line came out of the water. I had caught the guy’s lure from across the way on the pier. We both had a laugh on that. I let him reel it in all the way and untangle. Another time I caught a barge and almost lost my rod and reel. Managed to break the line. Never caught a fish worth keeping at that inlet, LOL!!

After Obie Lopez, soon everybody wanted to do “The Obie”, no matter the destination!

So he was 20,000 leagues ATOP the sea? I see…

Isn’t that what they call “a Nantucket sled ride”?

……now that is a huge fish story!!!!!

“Snagged a mermaid”

You heard it here first!

Gotta give Obie this much, though—kid’s got a solid grip.

That’s a whopper (or whale’s tale if you prefer) !!

Where does Will get these insane ideas!!!

This is how those stories get started, some danged kid in Snug Harbor. Wallace will have to top him with a Bigfoot sighting.

There were pieces from Porto to Faro

A mermaid…

Spud must have watched The X-Files as a tyke.

Catching an mermaid and getting to go to Portegual sounds like quite the adventure

I bet he had to see a Portuguese ophthalmologist…
