Be safe while boating

Seen at the lake today

Oh my word! What is this?! I am impressed you got this close to it for this excellent close up! I just looked at the tag but have never seen one close like this!

[Shutterbug]

Oh my, that is an amazing closeup.

[Kathy]

@grammyn @shutterbug49 Thanks Katy and Debbie. There were two dead catfish that someone had hung over a sign next to the water. They were pretty desiccated and didn't smell, so I assume they had been there awhile. Weird things people do.

[Corinne C]

I guess they talk with experience lol! A fun capture!

[Susan Wakely]

Oh my goodness. That’s a fine specimen.

[Babs]

Good heavens, it looks scary.

[Dawn]

A cool detailed shot and nice spotting

[Pyrrhula]

Great find and shot.

[Renee Salamon]

Great shot - reminds me of the fish sculpture I’ve seen that when you press the button says ‘don’t worry be happy’

[Chris Cook]

If I’d kept my mouth shut I wouldn’t be here.

[Kathy A]

Interesting place to put a dead fish. Any idea of the reason/purpose besides giving you a photo opportunity?

[Issi Bannerman]

Interesting find!

[Delwyn Barnett]

I like how the fish is in front of the 'E boat' sign. Someone has a sense of humour.

[Taffy]

What a great POV!

[John Falconer]

Who? The fish or me! Great shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Scarefish instead of Scarecrow? haha Good catch! haha again.

[Margaret Brown]

A super ugly closeup!!

[Kathy]

@corinnec I think they do. Thanks Corinne.
@wakelys Yes. The backside looked pretty good too. I kind of hate someone did this, but liked it as a photo subject.
@onewing One of those fish that has wicked looking teeth.
@Dawn Thanks Dawn. Not hard to see since it was at eye level. Curious to see though.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry.
@rensala You know, I must have been thinking of that in the back of my mind because when I read your comment it really resonated. And now I'm singing it in my head!
@cdcook48 Haha! So right!
@kjarn I'm not sure Kathy. Seems like a rather inhumane action although it does make for a good photo subject.
@jamibann It was a surprise. Thanks goodness I had a camera.
@dkbarnett Accidental Delwyn. I didn't get the entire sign which says "Be safe while boating"
@taffy Thanks.
@johnfalconer Haha! Thanks.
@olivetreeann Yes. Good insight.
@craftymeg They are not pretty fish alive either.

[Mary Siegle]

Yikes! great shot of this ugly puss.

[Kathy]

@mcsiegle Yup! I felt like I could see down to its toes, er tail, but not really as it was kind of folded over the sign. Thanks Mary.

[summerfield]

looks like it's got some nice dental work! 🤣 it's all dried up though. good capture. aces!

[Kathy]

@summerfield Thanks Vikki.
