Similarities with a bluegill
 

This morning while walking my dog at the mouth of the Neponset river I notice a big bluegill flopping in the sand at the waters edge.
As I pushed the poor bastard back in I thought " hhhmmm. . . . someone else who has let spur of the moment decisions in life come back to bite you in the ass . . . . journey well my disillusioned little friend. "

However, someone came by, kicked him in the ass and turned him around into the correct direction.

Couldn't let the Sky Rats get him.

or perhaps, he decided suffocating and getting eating my the birds was better then the fate that awaited him in that water, thus tossing him back to a place he didn't want to be.

Perhaps the next time you fall in the ocean, a nice little bluefish will gently nudge you out of the wash??

reminds me of a story -
years ago livin with some friends in Narragansett, I saw a huge snapping turtle making its way towards the road. the thing was moving incredibly slow. I didnt want it to get hit by a car so me and my buddies slid it into a trash barrel and moved it a few hundred hards into the woods. Get home from work 8 + hrs later and the thing is in the same spot, we do the same thing and move it farther away. next morning, same thing, the turtle is back but this time, it was farther away in a patch of sand........digging a hole to lay her eggs. Frekin turtle must have been swearing up and down at us trying to unload her eggs

There is a little stream that runs next to my office in Canton and flows into the Neponset. Every year around april a big snapper lays eggs in the same spot near the parking lot. They are very consistant animals.

How many snapper eggs in an omelette?:rotf2:
