A friend and I went charter fishing in the tropics and agreed to take turns catching fish. A rod gets hit and he tells me to go first, and I catch a small tuna. Later another rod gets hit and he starts reeling it in, then another one and it's handed to me, but after a few reels there is nothing on the line so I set it back down. He keeps reeling his & catches a small tuna.
An hour later something big hits the downrigger pole and he grabs it right away and reels in a trophy baracuda- like an 80lb fish. The captain wants to know if we want to have it mounted and my friend looks at me like I'm supposed to pay the $400 for mounting (I had already paid for his plane ticket and hotel room as a gift cause he's broke plus he still owes me $100 from something else).
I tell him that he caught it so he has to pay for it if he wants it mounted. So he says he doesn't have the cash and the captain cuts it free and it swims away.
Wasn't it my turn and should I be pissed off about it?
