In which Neil discovers a heretofore hidden...talent

“Well, I have never seen that.”

—Emily-Jo Wiggins, director of the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery Visitor Education Center

While we were at the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery, our guide encouraged us to try our luck at net-fishing in the racing tanks — which we attempted, with varying degrees of success.

But then Neil stepped up, swooped the net and came up with a single fish, neatly chopped nearly in half, a single thread connecting the two fishy bits. 

As you might expect, horrified hilarity ensued.

How do you like that — an innocent-looking fish-killer in our midst!
