All that work just to possibly get laid.  Makes dinner and a night out look pretty lame.

I'm thinking, what object is the fish drawing? It's got to be the sun?

Might be. I wonder if that fish ever saw the sun, tho. 😎

I did some digging on Jap puffers, soon I was hooked.

They live from surface to 30m, deep and river, brackish to salt water.

Of course they're a Japanese delicacy like every thing else that flys, crawls, walks or swims. Their meat is used in Fugu sushi and if prepared wrong kills the consumer.

This part just might keep me from trying them for dinner.

There are a lot of types of puffers from ones sold in the tropical fish trade that only get a little bigger than an inch to giant ones in the wild that get to over three feet. We caught a lot of them in the summer on the east coast using sand worms and squid.

We would clean them and remove the skin then flour them and fry in a pan with bacon grease. They taste a bit like Walleye, the meat is very firm and white. I have seen a few turn up in shrimp nets as bycatch and in the early 2000's while in Rocky Point, they were selling them in the fish market calling them "chicken fish".
