Timely fish tale: Hawaii fish coughs up gold watch
[June 05, 2009] ELEELE, Hawaii (AP) -- Hawaii resident Curt Carish boasts a timely fish tale: a 10-inch reef fish he caught by hand in shallow water coughed up a ticking gold watch.

Carish says he was enjoying a picnic Wednesday on Port Allen beach when he saw the nenue fish awkwardly swimming close to shore. He says a friend gave him a bamboo stick and told him to get the fish. So he jumped into the waist-high water and hit the nenue until it went limp. He noticed the fish had an abnormally large belly as he tossed it into a cooler. A friend opened the cooler later to discover a gold watch next to the fish's mouth. Carish says the watch was ticking and keeping correct time. ___ Information from: The Garden Island, http://www.kauaiworld.com/ |
