Fluffy’s still here, hauling in sea monsters while the Sunny Coast vermin melt down on the sidelines, squeaking like they swallowed a treble hook. I don’t fish the water… I bully it. Fish take one look at me and file missing-person reports. Meanwhile the haters flop around on shore like sun-dried bait, praying for a win they’ll never get. Keep chirping, I’m the king out here, and you’re just background noise Cheers Fluffy 🎣

We went deep sea fishing today in Costa Rica! It started out slow but then I hooked a massive mahi mahi but it came of, and we found a school of tuna and couldn’t stop catching them. We ended up catching 7 big tuna.
