OK, I'm going to share a story about Morsax - last year, we fished a boat who's captain we knew relatively well. The mate however, was new and didn't know Hans or I. Hans reeled in a nice rock and it spit up a big half digested alewife. The mate says, "you gotta finish eating that or it's bad luck", thinking his kidding would get some response from us, like an uneasy "ya right". Hans picks up the alewife and takes an emphatic bite without even blinking an eye. I thought the mate was gonna die from either being grossed out or thinking he talked a "normal" person into eating a half digested alewife. It was classic.
