What the Hell?
Anyone seen this link? Don't know if it's real or not, but I googled Graddy Warren and he is a legit captain in Florida. Disturbing if true. Looked it up on Snopes and nothing was there.

Looked fake to me. You just pick up my cat, or should I say former cat, and it would bite and scratch to crap out of us.
Funny if fake, sick shit if it is real.

Cat story:
When my cat was young, I had my gear by the door ready to go out the next morning. One of the rigs had a sabiki on it. I was on the computer and heard a racket by the front door, so I went to go investigate. The cat had attacked a sabiki fly and hooked itself in the top lip (perfectly) and was struggling against the rod. I grabbed the cat, bit off the fly and got my diagonal cutters to cut the hook shank. After I had grabbed the cat, it was very mellow and let me take care of it. He didn't even bleed and didn't sulk or react at all afterward. Like it never happened. But he hasn't messed with the fishing lures again, that's for sure.

Dogs too
Quote:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...gs_sharks.html €1,000 (Euros) For the first successful conviction of a fisherman using a dog or cat as shark bait and €200 for each conviction thereafter Dogs and cats are also involved in an assault on nature, this time as victims and as bait. On the French island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean, fishermen have been using live dogs and cats as bait for sharks. This practice is specifically outlawed by French law but the law, as in many places throughout the world, is ignored by fishing communities who apparently believe they are above the law. The dogs and cats have hooks passed through their snouts or through the tendons in their legs and the hooks are attached to lines and rods. The hapless animals are then tossed into the water where their struggles attract sharks. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has sent a message to the police in La Reunion offering a reward of €1,000 (Euros) for the first successful conviction of a fisherman using a dog or cat as bait and €200 for each conviction thereafter. The following letter was sent to the Chief of Police on La Reunion Island: To: The Police

All these stories are false and on research they all track back to a few animal rights groups that are anti fishing, mostly from Europe.
Some of them like the Reunion Island story have been around for years but they keep repackaging them. The idea a Marlin would hit a kitten dangled from a kite is ridiculous. Marlin eat fish not furry mammals. Jim |
