You “schmooze”, you lose.

If a fish speaks, is it a crappie compliment ?

Compliments don’t get you dinner.

Next up—angling for applause!

If a fish started complimenting me, I would read the label on my medication once more!!!

He would make a very polite dinner.

Looks fishy to me.

Excellent.

I wonder if he’ll bag the limit.

Talking Bass!

Before I read the caption, I thought the fish was being sarcastic. The guy cast his hook in the opposite direction of where the fish was.

“pbbfffttthhhtttbbbb”

Really? Fishing for compliments with an Evinrude?

That bay must be just off Cape Flattery Washington.

he should be at work but his arm is in a cast

“My buddy, on the business end of your line, says that there is some high-quality tackle…

…you must be a professional fisherman, huh?!”

How many more compliments does he need (to catch) before he’s satisfied or reached his limit for the day?

…..HONK!

Nyah, nyah, nyah, can’t catch me!

The leader of a cast of thousands.

That’s a sport I can get behind!

Well, if there are flatfish, there must be flatterfish.

Several years ago Cosmo Fishhawk got his line all tangled up in a bird’s-nest mess trying to cast his bait, upon which a fish poked his head out of the water and said to him: “Nice cast, you wuss!” It was the first time I encountered the term; I thought it was a great self-explanatory expression of sarcasm, and it remains my favourite to this day.

This was so stupid! I cannot believe I laughed out!!

Drop me a line sometime.

nyah nyah nyah!!

Next comes phishing for compliments. :)

They met on line but then he discovered it was just click bait.

Where sarcasm runs rampant…..

The fish is just baiting him.

What a Bass-hole!

I’m enjoying your artwork style! :-)

Yes, nice bass you have there, Mike.

Better than being on Flatulence Bay
