We went fishing in the San Francisco Bay one time on a large Searay.
Caught nothing but sharks all day in the pouring rain.
I ripped my hands up really bad getting those hooks out but those sharks went back in the bay unharmed.

I don't fish. I went on a guided fishing trip once in New Jersey. It was just me, and a few of my family members. None of us caught anything good at all. The best thing we caught was a little stingray, which then the guide said "if you believe in PETA, look away... and cover your ears". He then banged that Ray against the side of the boat maybe 5 times, and then chucked him as far as he could. It was to make the ray uncoordinated so he wouldn't keep biting at our lines. I'd say that ray didn't last long after that event...

Never went fishing again. I I just don't have fishing talent like yall do.

Yeah Walker no reason to kill it if you're not going to eat it or give it to someone, exactly right. If I have all the fish I need but want to keep fishing, I like to clean em and give them to the older folks.

That's how you do it!
 
Lots of headaches with my tank upgrade so far. But (I think, but I'm probably jinxing it) I see light at the end of the tunnel with my dinoflagelltes and bottomed out nutrients battle. I think my final punch in the face to the dinos will be adding a half gallon of pods. Hopefully that does the trick and these nasty, gooey little buggers stay way out of my tank.

Sorry Walker!
I'm having a hard time with mine too.
I'm on the opposite side with 65 nitrate and 1.79 phosphate.
At least I think I found out what the problem is.
I know you'll get your tank there!

I miss mine a lot, I never found the body, mine was half yellow, but they say that if it doesn't have a big fish or many fish that let themselves be cleaned, they can die.

Sorry about yours!

That's what I've been reading too. If I were to get one it would be after my tomini tang and foxface addition.

At that time I didn't have the foxface but I did have the tomini, Jojo has one I think, I don't know if Tim has one too.

My wife is a nurse and a few decades ago she came home from work beside herself. They are not allowed to test patients unless they stick themselves. She stuck herself and the patient tested positive for HIV and hepatitis B. She was put on antivirals and tested periodically for a year before she was cleared.

Unless they stick themselves?!?!
Where I work sticking yourself is considered extremely bad practice
Maybe I'm misunderstanding
