"you should have seen the size of the fish I caught, but then these pirates came by and stole it."

Yeah right buddy. I've got a bridge for sale too.

This guy is making this up. Why the heck would the pirate take the fish too?

It was just robbery. Let’s not pretend Long John Silver is on the high seas of Lake Erie.

Took his fish... I thought it was serious until I saw that. Probably just another imaginative fish story.

Americans need to start re-arming themselves. It’s going to turn into this all over the Country soon.

If we catch them, try them under traditional Admiralty law and hang them.

That will discourage anybody else from trying this. Same goes for the Somali pirates. If the risks outweigh the rewards, nobody will do it anymore. It’s how piracy was originally wiped out.

This story stinks worse than Lake Erie in the 70’s.

Would it be surprising if this had something to do with transport of drugs from Canada? Prescriptions, prescriptions, Relax!

Give a man a fish and he will have food for a day. Teach him how to steal and he will have fish for a lifetime.
