I stood by the canal shallows watching the fish..

Kinda lazing about, schools of brightly colored and dark colored specimens. All diffrent sizes and types. From tiny guppy's to 5 pounders to exotics. Some darting back and forth, some cruising, some as couples preparing nests in the silt.

And then *sploosh* *sploosh* *sploosh*

Fish were leaping out of the water toward the shallows en masse.

The multitudes of fish Id been watching scattered like it was a speak-easy raid...

And *swoosh*.. like a buncha ships coming out of warp, dozens of mahimahi appeared into the shallows.

They cruised around, herding the fish theyd been chasing.

And then there was another *sploosh*.. and the circus, just as quickly.. disappeared.

That last *sploosh* was from a homeowner who had seen the dolphinfish and was tossing a flygreen lure into the water.

Apparently, he had heard mahimahi were pretty good eating too. :-)
