Mola mola south of Moriches

[Avenger]

I have a secondhand tale from a guy who's father decided to keep a smaller one, like maybe four or five feet long, and have it mounted as a curiosity.

(Insert Quint line from Jaws here)

He said it was so oily it took months to dry out and when they finally put it on the wall the smell would never go away. It didn't exactly blow out the whole room, but there was always a slight stench coming from the thing.

But I have to admit, it would be a pretty interesting conversation piece for people who never saw one before. Maybe a fiberglass cast of it would be better. At least you know the mold wouldn't stick to the fish.

This is one of those "kids don't do this at home" I was shark fishing with a friend on his boat, who brought along a friend that downed a six-pack before the lines were in. It was a slow hot day and he just kept on drinking. Early afternoon and a Sun Fish, about the size of the one in the video shows up and it's just mozying along. Suddenly I hear a splash and its the drunk diving into the water. He swims right up to it and went to put his arm around it and the thing came flying out of the water. The moron ended up with a gash that took a lot of stitches. He was so drunk he didn't even know he was cut.

Did his gash help the chum slick???
