Man Catches Fish With Gold Watch Inside

Posted by samzenpus on from the pinata-fish dept.

Curt Carish made fish story history when he caught a fish with his bare hands with a ticking gold watch inside it. He was enjoying a picnic on Port Allen beach when he saw the nenue fish swimming strangely and close to shore. Curt caught the fish, put it in a cooler and later found the working watch next to the fish's mouth.

    This is one of the most disgusting Rolex fakes I have ever seen. Apparently it doesn't even have a Rolex logo, so it might even be legal? Anyway, yuck.

    This might have been a result of a previous, unsuccessful attempt to catch the fish "by hand".
