snowyday Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Two men were talking about fishing and one of them got off on the subject of a sailfish he had hooked in the Gulf Stream, out of Miami. “I fought that fish for three hours,†he said, “and believe it or not, when we hauled him on board, he weighed almost 1400 pounds.†The other man countered with this one. “I had a strike in the same region. I fought mine likewise for about three hours and when I brought him to gaff, it wasn’t a sailfish at all but the binnacle off an old Spanish galleon. Believe it or not, when we hauled the thing aboard, the light was still burning.†The first fisherman said nothing for a few moments. Finally he gathered himself together and said: “I’ll take 1200 pounds off my sailfish if you’ll put out that light. * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
