Which one is Fuld? That slimy thing with the odor issues that's gasping for air, hoping it survives for the next 10 minutes before being cut to pieces? Or the fish?
Posted by CNote , Sep 17, 2008 2:48PM
Dammit. Paulson, not Fuld.
I suck.

I wasn't a skilled enough angler to catch a Striper, so I had to take my photo with a Blue Fish, which is the easiest fish in the Atlantic to catch.
