I was a little distubed though, to hear that the first course of action is to hit the fish over the head with a stick...

...plus, let's just say the fish was sick...why be in such a rush to kill and consume a diseased fish?

That's odd. It's working from my end!

Here's the story though:

By The Associated Press



ELEELE, Hawaii - Hawaii resident Curt Carish boasts a timely fish tale - a 25-centimetre reef fish he caught by hand in shallow water coughed up a ticking gold watch.


Carish says he was enjoying a picnic Wednesday on Port Allen beach when he saw the nenue fish awkwardly swimming close to shore.


He says a friend gave him a bamboo stick and told him to get the fish.


So he jumped into the waist-high water and hit the nenue until it went limp.


He noticed the fish had an abnormally large belly as he tossed it into a cooler.


A friend opened the cooler later to discover a gold watch next to the fish's mouth.


Carish says the watch was ticking and keeping correct time.

I wonder if there was a hand in the fish's stomach.

Weird... must have been a pretty nice watch ;)
