   so his first instinct when seeing a fish swimming awkwardly is to beat it to death? how compassionate.

   You know, if I saw a fish swimming around awkwardly, my first inclination would not be to beat it with a stick. I really find that a strange impulse.

   "He grabbed a bamboo pole and beat the fish until it went limp."

   I hope somebody does the same to that guy! Preferably in a dark alley.

   Let this be a lesson to you guys. If you ever see an animal moving funny, beat it to death with a stick.

   Rofl.... that really is a weird decision.

   "Hey look! That fish is swimming weird! Lemme just pick up this stick and beat it to death!" o_O

   I feel like I should really avoid this man if I were on crutches for fear he'd beat be to death with them

    I also wanted to write a comment about his fish-beating-impulse, but I am glad to see I'm not the only one who found this very odd.

    that photo looks suspiciously like a 1980's ad, doesn't it?

    I remember one time when I saw a stray cat in my yard walking a little oddly. I beat it with a bat, but didn't find a watch.

    Not the best way to gain your 15 minutes of fame.

    Wrong ocean for Air France memorabilia to be washing up.

    he beat it till it went limp... sounds like this guy had trouble beating up a sick fish...

    wonder is it a sneaky advertisement for the watch manufacturer!

    I came on here to comment on the fish beating thing but see that you all beat me to it.. HAH, beat me to it, get it? What an odd compulsion to have.

    ... "Mr. Carish has been boating since the death of his wife. Hher friends saw her walking with a small limp, and was mysteriously found dead the next day of unknown injuries caused by a bamboo pole. The autopsy found a gold chain in her mouth that was coughed up upon death."

    Sounds like it's from the plot of "Big Fish."

    Wow, you have to wonder how the watch was lost in the first place?

18. Simon Says

    That was my watch! I lost it a while back while fishing in that area.

    May I have it back, please?

    I'm waiting to hear the next story about this guy when he beats a crab with a bamboo pole after it pinchs him on the toe, just to find the face of Jesus printed on the shell.

    I wonder what Carish would cough up if he was beaten with a stick.

21. christine

    That is definitely a fish story. There is no way that fish could have swallowed such a big watch. It looks like somebody attached the watch to the fish.

22. Loomis

    I'd like to think that he tried at first to catch it with his bare hands but the fish and time kept slipping away.
    Or "Talk about beating the clock."

    Maybe I'm carping about fish on a grand scale here, but that watch is suspicious on its face.

24. Gauldar

    I wonder how good that fished tasted when cooked concidering it was tenderized and seasoned with thyme.

    Echoing the choir. What a bizarre reaction to an awkwardly swimming fish. Beat it to death and put it in a cooler? Why the beatdown? And why stash a fish that looked ill anyway? I wouldn't want to eat it.

    Talks a lickin' and keeps on tickin'...the watch that is...the fish, not so much.

    Leaving aside the beating with a stick issue (and do the folks above think that hooking it in the mouth then letting it suffocate on a boat--i.e. fishing--is somehow kinder), my first impulse on seeing a fish swimming in a strange way would be "This is not a fish I want to eat." So, why put a diseased fish in your cooler, exactly?

    Alex: I have never fished, but if I did I would be throwing any critters I catch back. Not killing them.

    But really, this guy is a freak. I see an injured creature I think "I must help somehow" not "I must beat to death with a piece of word".

    "so his first instinct when seeing a fish swimming awkwardly is to beat it to death? how compassionate.

    his intentions was to catch and cook the fish. Nunue fish are good to eat. he had no pole,spear,or net so he stunned it with a whack. Whats the difference from spearing it to death? farking idiots.

34. Blacknimbus

    It was a tasty fish. He caught it and put it in the cooler to eat later. I'm not sure what has everyone in an uproar. Swallowing a hook and having your guts ripped out isn't a lot worse that being beaten with a stick.

    Actually it is...but I doubt the reaction would have been the same if he had used a fishing pole.

    So then this guy comes out of nowhere, beats me senseless with a stick, sticks me in a freezer, and steals my watch. And of course the carps are nowhere to be seen...

36. Staxeon

    Beyond the "ethics" of what he did, is that even a fish that's in season? I mean, does he have a fishing licence, or is "beating with a stick" a legal method of landing a fish?

37. Gauldar

    Dont forget, he will send a picture to the newspaper bragging what he did to a fish then you, MR. OVER-REACTER

    That is the reason we are man so we can beat it to death and the eat it. Best of all get a nice watch out of the deal. Bill

    this fish is good at time keeping i suppose..

    however.. if they claim the watch was inside the fish it would have been more beleiveable..from the story it appears as if the watch was inside the fish then somehow when the fish was in the cooler it vomitted the watch!!

    publicity stunt nothing more
