Fish on "Death Row" Gets Last Meal



Not to make light of a serious subject...but I couldn't help myself.
You know how fish stories go! They sound unbelieveable and usually grow the more they are told...sometimes they even turn into urban legends! But, I've got proof! Wait, maybe the urban legend I'm referring to is actually about a pet alligator that got flushed away...anyhow, I digress...sorry :0).
The other day my daughter, Caitie, and her cousin, Beau, were fishing in her grandparents' pond. They caught several bream and four bass. They had the fish waiting on "Death Row" in the traditional bucket full of pond water. Plans were to eat them for supper.
To their surprise, when they began cleaning them they discovered that the largest bass had decided to have his last meal on the spot! He had begun to swallow not the smallest fish in the bucket! He succeeded in making decent progress when I assume he choked to death! Nah, I don't know if he choked or not, but it sure looked like it!
I assure you this fish tale is true. They didn't force that fish into the other one's mouth!

May the fish RIP!
