Does this look like a disappointed fisherman? Well, despite the nice catch of vacuum-packed booty he’s weighing up for tomorrow’s flight back home, Jay was disappointed with the ten specimens he boated. No blue fin. He and Hai had joined a fleet of 10 ocean-going craft for a three-day trip 100 miles off-shore in search of the legendary prize. They were close too, but the entire cadre of 200 hunters was skunked. The weather had changed, the bait fish skedadled and the blue fin followed, leaving empty waters and broken dreams in their wake. So his relatively meagre catch of 10 rockfish and poor man’s lobster will have to do for now. Next time, Jay. Back to work as a flight controller in Texas. At least you have stories to tell the gang.
