| I had to google what the hell a Weever was. That is one ancient looking fish.

In my mind it was as if taken out of some bad movie, I just couldn't believe what had just happened! And I kept thinking that the following 10min, all the while my friend was swearing like an old drunken fisherman!  The dinghy just suddenly swung violently to the right, almost tipping over, and I was sure my friend had just made an over enthusiastic turn. However upon looking back I saw him hanging over the transom staring into the water and I then noticed that the engine was gone!! With lots of froth & bubbles from where the engine had sunk! And then there were the Weevers, christ those are some aggressive bastards, and with spikes both on the side and on the top. A sting from a Weever is one of the most, if not THE most painful stings by any animal, often causing the person to pass out because of the pain. The coast guard suspects that a lot of the unexplained drowning deaths in shallow water are caused by people stepping on a weever and passing out or going into heavy cramps. Esp. children & old folks, or people with a weak heart, are in the high risk zone of dying if stung. Fortunately my friend and I don't fit into those categories and will most likely survive if stung, even if untreated. And we caught five of these bastards! Oh man, what a day!

 | Sh!t that sucks. Sounds like the day me and a friend went fishing on the beach. We only cached one fish, the rest was puffer fish and I broke my catrole and cut my foot open on the rocks and that evening I realized why you need to wear sun tan lotion, because I burned my legs and feet so badly I could not work for almost a week. Everyone thought it was funny as hell, but the skin of my feet came off and left nasty marks on them.
