I've heard that if you put a dab of vaseline on your nose, those fish will jump right out of the water to bite it. The only trick is catchin' 'em in time.

I went fishing with my uncle once, in Long Island Sound. He said we should be able to catch some flounder for dinner. I felt a mighty tug on the line and pulled up . . . a snake. Well, Uncle said it was an eel. Looked like a mean snake to me. It slid round and round in circle on the boat and tried to bite us all. Never went fishing again. Too many scary things under there.
