NOT!!!......hahahaha, I am definitely not one of those animal rights/PETA whack jobs but I do like animals. That being said I still can't believe what I did this afternoon.

We were at the beach all day and oddly there were long tidal pools about 30 feet inland of the actual shore. They must have been created during the tropical storm/hurricane last month because I have never seen them in Galveston before. Anyway, there was one pool that was about 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and varied from about 2 to 5 inches in depth.....and there were seven 10-12 inch saltwater catfish swimming in it. It was rather interesting to watch them. As the day went one the pool got very hot from the sun and I realized that those fish would never make it to high tide to escape their prison. I had a cast net with me so I set out to free them. About 30 minutes later I had netted and released all seven fish back into the surf.

Some Canadian (he told me he was from Canada) came up to me and asked me if I was going to eat them

. I kind of chuckled but told him I was merely trying to save them from baking to death in the sun heated water. He told me it didn't seem like it was worth the time it took me to save them.....I simply told him it made me feel good so it was worth it to me. I guess I am getting crazy in my old age but something seemed wrong about leaving them there to die.

Obviously that Canadian asswipe (just that ONE, I'm not generalizing here so back off!) has never been sunburned or deprived of oxygen or both at the same time. You should have choked him out and left him unconcious in the surf to sunburn, then he'd think different about saving those catfish next time! That, or scooped his a$$ up in the net and fried and breaded him for getting caught on the beach. That would teach him, eh?! :D

Come on guys...leave the poor Canadian alone. He told me they had catfish in Canada but he didn't realize that we had them all the way down here....HAHAHAHAHA:D. He then proceeded to tell me how ugly they were, to which his Canadian GF agreed. They both asked my why I was bothering to save such ugly creatures. What I wanted to say was..."you are ONE ugly biatch and so is your man, but I would still save both of you if you were drowning", but instead I simply told them it made me feel good.

See, I was ready to back off until he said catfish are ugly! WTF is he to say that, especially about American catfish! Maybe Canadian catfish are ugly, but I certainly don't think ours are. You should have fed this guy into a wood chipper aimed at the area where the catfish were and stuffed his sorry a$$ in it and chummed the waters for those cats man! What were you thinking letting a blasphemous Canadian dog on some American catfish like that? You call yourself a patriot???? ;) :D











Too bad my grandmother is Canadian. That makes me what? Like 1/16th Canadian or something? Damnit! :D

Well, the water is not really nasty it is simply murky from the type of sand in Galveston and it is kept stirred up by all the shipping traffic going in and out of the bay. I don't think I have to worry about any diseases, but the GF did get stung by a jellyfish but after a few hours she said it didn't hurt anymore. I really didn't care about the people standing around thinking I was loony as I will never see them again.

Those catfish were stupid! By letting them live you contributed to the downfall of their species.

The same could be said about you but I see you are still breathing so I guess we are all doomed.
