How not to fish
Click here to zoom.

On my recent trip to Costa Rica we spent a full day fishing on the beautifulblue ocean. Everyone caught at least 3 fish, except for Jaime who only caught a bird. The guide couldn't stop laughing and once he reeled the bird in he gave it to Jaime by the neck! Nobody on the boat could stop laughing for days :)

 

And no, the bird was not hurt. After a few seconds of shock and confusion it flew right back to its flock.

      Yeah but the PETA folk keep voting this down... THE BIRD WAS FINE! We were fishing for food, and it dove down and bit our bait. We unhooked it and let it go Reply...

    ah! the poor bird! That's funny. I bet that happens a bit, since the birds hang around the fishing boats, but I've never seen it. Reply...

      I imagine it probably does because the guy on the boat immediately knew to grab it by the neck. Reply...

      haha no it wasn't. the hook was just caught on it's beak, and it was easily removed. The guy took out the hook and threw the bird back in the water. It sat for a few seconds, probably thinking "what the hell just happened?!" and then rejoined its flock. Reply...
