A Fish Story Caption
Fish Story – an improbable, boastful tale. So have you ever told a “fish story?” Something about pulling a fish as big as a car out of a lake as small as a pond.

So What Say You?
To appreciate the sun, you gotta know what rain is. (J. Cole) Or snow or sleet and hail. Or even the gray winter skies that February can sometimes bring.
