What's that mean?

that's Optimum Fishing Hour

in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hmm, alligators.

Hey, Joe, listen to this.

"Alligators will attack their prey,

but not eat them immediately.

- "Often, they will drag their

unlucky half-dead victim...

- [Horn Honking]

"Into their cave, where they

will let the carcass rot,

nibbling on them

at their delight."

A-And this too.

[Shudders]

"Legend has it that alligators

are vengeful creatures.

"If threatened or disturbed,

"they will become obsessed with

their target, not resting...

until they have successfully

unleashed their retribution."

- Ohhh!

- Obsessed?

Yeah, obsessed, man.

I mean, they could follow you

to the end of the world.

Wow! Hey, check this out.

Boy, holy smokes.

Hey, Gus, we don't have

to worry about that, right?

- we're gonna be fishin', right?

- Right, right, right, right.

- Yeah. Hey, Joe, it-it's

nice gettin' away, man.

- Oh, yeah.

[Man]

The little one weighs 62.

Boy, that's somethin'!

[Joe]

Yeah, she's pretty good, huh?

[Gus]

L-it's okay.

And it's got some fish.

Yeah. Hey, what kind

of fish is that?

- Ah, a grouper.

- Grouper, huh? And what's this?

that's a strawberry grouper.

Strawberry grouper, huh?

I thought it was a salmon.

- Yeah, that's a strawberry grouper.

- what's this one, Gus?

- Kingfish.

- Kingfish, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, Gus, if we had money,

we' d set this up different.

We' d catch a lot of fish.

- Yeah, who needs it?

- Yeah.

- Guys who can't fish.

- Exactly.

L-Look at it this way.

You was a great football player, right?

- Yeah.

- If a great football player

got a bad football...

- he's still a great football player.

- Exactly.

Hey, how about this clean,

fresh Florida air?

[Inhales] Hey, a real Florida

palm tree in the flesh.

Holy smoke! Gus,

I never thought I' d see a palm tree.

- I feel like a million dollars, Joe.

- I feel like two million.

[Laughing]

let's go eat.

- And then fish.

- Yeah.

No, no. You got the last one.

it's on me. Forget about it.

Hey, Joe, check out

them ugly sticks.

Hey, don't say that.

- They gonna break.

- [Woman] You got number nine ready?

- [Man] Here you go.

- let's sit over here.

Hey, don't say that.

Hey, Gus, I can't

believe you. You tell me,

"Look at these ugly chicks."

I was gonna laugh right

in their faces over there.

I said, "Ugly sticks."

For fishin'.

Oh, I thought you said

"ugly chicks"' cause this

You gotta have ugly sticks

here because they feed

a lot of fishermen.

- Hiya.
