once, my dad took me on a boat ride. there i was leaning over the edge, trailing my hand in the water, then my dad told me to be careful. the 'logfish' would bite my hand if i put it in the water. for the rest of the day we were logfish spotting. years later when we were out on a bout my dad told me the truth. (i fell for it!!)
