You know that person who just doesn’t get the hint? This fish was basically that friend. The angler released it… and it swims straight back onto shore. More than once. Maybe it was sightseeing. Maybe it was hoping it could hang out with people rather than fish. Either way, after a few gentle “no, seriously, go” nudges, the fish finally swam off…probably to tell its buddies about its weird day on land.
