Takes a licking and keeps on ticking …

An observant fellow notes a trout swimming in a Swiss lake appears odd, and discovers trout are evolving natural defenses against the local Osprey …

While I don’t think the Timex watch is a Swiss invention, it engenders new respect for a heretofore fragile salmonid.

I imagine the local Osprey are likely perfecting the Immelmann and how best to engage fish using, “Death from the Side.”

    This kind of humor is not my cup of tea. I find the photos repulsive and horrific. You probably won’t publish this comment, but I’m swimming away right now, as fast as I can.

    I publish all comments, whether they agree with me or no … and there are plenty of righteous god fearing folk that consider the notion of wadding steel through a fish’s mouth repulsive and horrific.

    I’d not wish my sense of humor on anyone, but will lose no sleep knowing I’ve caused you moral outrage.

    The Magic Swiss Unicorn Trout! It slices! It dices! Will not only go with that nice Pinot Gris but will open the bottle too!!!

    Fair enough! I am one of those who has punctured the lip of many a fish, and drilled a few mammals as well. Different people think different thoughts. Carry on, I wish you well.

    Tom is taking a break. Unfortunately, blogging doesn’t pay a farthing (if you have morals, ethics, or scruples), so every fellow has to weigh the time to produce entertaining content versus putting chow in the mouth of his chilluns.

    I hope he returns, but the combination of drought (reduced fishing) and familial obligations (increasing finances) is limiting his output.
