All Comments on 'The Catch'

This reminded of disney's 20 something leagues under the sea, in particular, a song in it. While it lacks the sexiness im used to in these stories, its still a fun read and a logical look on an old tale. Thank you for sharing it. Thankfully i don't like fish, but must now find a boat and bait. I'll contact u if i get similar results.

I found this really funny, thank you for putting a smile on my face. I hope you do realise that this is the traditional format of a short story with a surprise ending. It could be in a classic anthology of sea stories, it is so good!

Definitely wiser than most of us.

You are a story teller! That ending caught me completely by surprise.

I'm thinking he might have wanted to get a tad more information from his mermaid before he chucked her back. Maybe the deal would have been more palatable given more information. But funny story none-the-less.

or doesn't know when a good thing when he has it haha

The twist did make this an interesting tale. A brainy humor but a dry fantasy, in the end.

I'm sure the fans of this genre are more interested in the impossible dream . Things that never are, but, if only, they were possible.

A life, unrestrained by reality is the chief attraction.
