I don’t have a hard time baiting and hooking the less than desirable fish that must be thrown back. I’ve caught my fair share of flying fish with their heads in the clouds, spineless fish that blindly swim with their school, catfish with inexplicably strange facial hair, and guppies whose denim is tighter fitting than mine. It’s an upstream battle trying to reel in one of the keepers.
So what happens when you finally attract that prized 6-feet 6-inches marlin and his toned slimy body begins to slip through your clutches? That is when I wish I had a life size version of this
Stuck! Goldfish Bath Plug (about $12) to ensure that the keepers can’t get away. That way when you hear, “There’s plenty of other fish in the sea,” you can smile coyly and reply, “Oh, I don’t think this one’s going anywhere.”
Can you commiserate with my frustrating fishy adventures? Or have you hooked your perfect mate?Written by stellastylista

When you find one of those keepers please let me know. I've hooked way too many spineless, rotten and foul pikes or barracudas that I don't even go near the water anymore.
@lamerchick - I've had similar foul guy experiences...which was part of the reason I joined Match and met Patrick within a month. There are good ones out there, m'dear! It just takes quite a bit of searching.
So cute!
@jinnyjinn: Wow! You did the online thing? You're brave. I know so many people do but I never actually knew anyone who did. I'm out of contention. I'm not sure I even want to try again I've had so many bad experiences.
@lamerchick - I hear ya. I wasn't ready to do something like that for a long time. I wasn't even ready for a relationship for a long time. Everything happens when they're supposed to. And there's a lot to be said about enjoying single life too ;)
@jinnyjinn: Yes there is. :) I'm happier now than I've ever been with a guy, maybe the happiest I've ever been period. So, if and when the right guy ever comes along, maybe I'll be ready. :)
This is adorable.
Order the little guy from us! He's in stock now! http://www.giftlab.co.uk/product_details_94_14_stuck---goldfish-novelty-bath-plug.html
