Amanda and Lauren duct taped the floodlights onto the front of the boat. Sam was shinning a flashlight off into the darkness behind them.
Erik made himself useful by throwing out bread crumbs into the water.
Lauren sat at the bottom of the boat tieng a rope to a "borrowed" grappling hook from the set of the latest opera.
Amanda was spitting on large pieces of bread and sticking them to the hook. Sam made an odd noise of disgust. Lauren laughed, Erik glared.
"Oh!" Sam exclaimed.
"you can hear me now...Crap."
"Kill the Floodlights and shine the little ones over here!" Erik said excitedly.
Lauren snapped them off and shone the light where Erik instructed. A large...Excuse me. A giant shadow drifted under the boat.
"Its a Catfish," Sam said.
"How do you know?" Lauren asked,
"I was a fisherman before I died. I know what I am talking about. Throw the hook out."
"Listen to the dead man!" Lauren exclaimed.
Amanda threw out the giant hook over the end of the boat. She tied it to the bow of the boat and braced it with her body. Silence filled the boat. Then Amanda yelped, Erik grabbed onto her waist. Sam flipped on the floodlights. Lauren leaned out of the boat and grabbed the rope.
"WE GOT THE FISH!" Lauren yelped.
"thank you captain obvious!" Amanda yelled.
"Pull!" Erik said frustrated.
"This is Amusing." Sam said. His bandanna was floating over the back of the boat. He was just watching.
"Ah!" was all Lauren got out before she fell in the water.
"IDIOT!" Erik yelled. Lauren came back up with a gasp.
"Dear cookies!" she gasped.
"That water is cold."
all of a sudden the rope went limp.
They all fell into silence.
"Did he get away?" Lauren asked.
"I don't see him." Amanda said leaning over the edge of the boat, before Erik pulled her back.
Lauren swam out a little farther shinning her flashlight down.
"Guys." she moaned.
"what?" Amanda asked
"The Fish isn't gone." she said slowly.
Then,
SPLASH!
Lauren went under.
Amanda screamed Erik and Sam where about to jump in when-
SPLASH!
Lauren was back... On the Back of the catfish...NOT!
No really the catfish was not a catfish at all! IT WAS A DOGFISH!...gotcha!. No it was a trout!
I lovely meat eating trout!
It was snapping at Lauren as she was making a mad dash for the boat. Sam pulled her in.
"You said it was a catfish!" she was yelling as she was pulled.
Amanda was cutting at the rope with a knife that she had. The second Lauren was hauled into the boat, the cut rope slid out of the boat.
"Lets go fishing! She said..." Sam sighed.
"Everyone wins she said!" Erik growled.
"I'm Hungry!" Amanda said.
"It was fun!" then she struck a dramatic pose with one foot on the bow of the ship and she shook her fist out at the murky water.
"YOU MAY HAVE WON THIS ROUND FISH! BUT NEVER AGAIN! WE WILL DO BATTLE!"
"after Lunch," Amanda added.
"AFFTER LUNCH!" Lauren yelled.
