[QUOTE="moondawg, post: 5304388, member: 1412"] I remember going saltwater fishing in Florida with my uncle and one of his buddies (Rick) almost 20 yrs ago. I was in Rick's boat and we were fishing in a cove off the Marco River. This was my first time doing saltwater fishing. I hooked a fish and started reeling in. It was a bit smaller than the crevalle jack I had hooked earlier that morning. It was shiny, too. It was a ladyfish. I reeled it in, happy as I could to to catch ANYTHING, as the fishing had sucked most of the day. I landed the fish in the boat and started removing the hook. Rick immediately and urgently told me to hold the fish over the side, out of the boat. I thought "okay, already, I'm holding it over the side of the boat". I commenced to removing the hook and threw the ladyfish back in the water. I asked Rick: why was it so urgent to hold the fish over the side of the boat over the water? His answer? Because lady fish will poop on you! :oops: He never had to tell me to hold the fish outside the boat again! [/QUOTE]
