There is a giant fish in the lake near my home. I kayak there often and this monster fish taunts me. I am not a fisherman so the fish is not something I dream about catching. The water in the lake is warm year round and the giant fish is some kind of carp I suspect. It seems to wait for me to pass then jump out of the water right by my kayak. One of these days it will probably jump right into my boat. I know that the fish is going to flop right… Read Article →

I like fish just fine….buttered in my pan. Why do people want them in their home? They are great for about a week then they start to stink. They die for no reason. The best place for them is the toilet. One flush and no more problems. I used to clean the tank weekly. The filters were gross and the rocks in the bottom were full of poop. The fish would eat at each other and looked pretty bad soon after arriving in the tank. The tank pump made a loud noise taking away any… Read Article →
