Two Fishes on a Pier Contemplating Their Fate

These fishes were captured just moments before this photo was taken. They were abducted from their homes by a net-throwing thirteen year old girl. Obviously they are contemplating their fate as they lay on the cold hard pier. Thankfully, the girl was not a fish eater and returned both of them unharmed to their salt water home in Mobile Bay. They represent a much larger family of catfish and mullet currently residing there.
