Honk if you're a Kingfish

"Squeeze me gently, and I will honk. Throw me back in to the ocean, and I will grant you seven wishes."








They were casting along the ocean shore for halibut but not catching anything. However, we found this fisherwoman who had pulled in a nice batch of ocean finnies. They were flopping about in a tupperware tub. She was happy to tell us they were "Kingfish." We had thought The Kingfish was Huey Long's nickname -- shows what we know -- but we're here to learn. They're very pretty, that we could see. She not only told us how she caught these fish, she added that if you squeeze a Kingfish gently, it will honk.
We asked for a demonstration, and sure enough, The Kingfish honked at us.
Made us smile.
