One Fish, Two Fish, 'Doesn't Have to Chew You' Fish
We've managed a World Record here in Bangla-cola, although one might wish it were for something else.
1,063-pound shark may earn crew a place in the record book...The four people aboard the Sea Ya Later II were cobia fishing when they spotted the shark at about 2:30 p.m. chasing its lunch near the shore between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach.
The shark, which was about 300 to 400 yards from the shore, had a porpoise in its mouth when it was hooked with a cobia jig. That didn't faze the 12-foot, 6-inch Mako, which is a type of shark notorious for putting up a fight.
It didn't take long for the crew aboard the 23-foot boat to realize they were going to need a bigger vessel to help.
Me 'n major dad were howling when they interviewed the crew last night. They'd hooked the thing and then, when they realized WHAT they had on the line...
...did the "You're gonna need a bigger boat" scene.
C'mon down, y'all. The water's fine.

I'm even willing to clean the bathroom if I get enough of a head's up...
That's just the kinda girl I am.

Have you read the comments to the story you linked to?
All the granolas are very upset that Sr. Mako was caught.

They're so ignorant. If they'd read the story, they'd see he did it on porpoise.

After reading a few of those comments I just sort tuna out. But I'll mako 'nother attempt if you think it's worth the effort.

He was so big, I'm sure he thought "Oh, let me just snag this hook for the halibut. I'll drag the boat around, maybe it'll flounder ~ wahoo! Somethin' to do!"

You guys drop puns on the finnest pretexts, don't you.

They're just baiting you, Fly.

He's too smart to fall for that line, DAVE. You may have tipped the scales in our favor.

Well, your work has more bite in it. My puns are definitely long in the tooth.
