I feel like she just glared at that fish and it jumped in her boat.

Seems a tad unsafe to be out on the water in that getup -- I imagine it would be difficult to swim if she accidentally went overboard. Yikes!

Against that stern countenance and upright posture, the wriggly bastard of a fish had no chance.

Can't stand people who hold the fish up close to the camera to make it look big.
That lady shoulda used a banana. Smh

I feel like maybe the fish thought that was another fish? Like, bro, you’re out there?

Meh at that size just about every fish starts to taste like ass. Too many years on the top of the food chain and all of those environmental contamination issues stack up . All the little fish they eat get compiled into one animal and they add up to a whole bunch of nasty. Happens in all older carnivores in land lakes rivers or streams.

People hardly swam back in those days. If you fell overboard or your boat sank you would just do the proper thing and drown and not so as not to cause a fuss.
its_raining_scotch t1_jedxoob wrote
It looks like a black sea bass. They get enormous and it was common 100 years ago to catch ones like that. In CA they had to ban fishing them because they almost went extinct. They’ve made a major comeback though.

And you ain't gonna catch one like that these days thanks to overfishing.
dbausano t1_jeetmzo wrote
That’s actually not the case anymore. The population has recovered enough that the FWC is issuing a small number of permits that allow limited harvest. There may not be the numbers there once was, but that is improving and there are absolute giants swimming around.

Nope! The underwear in this era were split-crotch for easy access. Just spread the skirts out and squat.
