You are not too far from some awesome fish like bluenose and
flagfin shiners. Sounds like we need to hook up! I'm always ready
to get my feet wet.

I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a
big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person.
Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby
shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because
it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something,
like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.
