(Ah… Sunday afternoon, inside the Gardenview Education and Museum Centre.)
(In the aquatic room, Finn is currently hosting his own Fish Talk meet up, with many Gardenview visitors watching him directly.)
Finn: “Hey, the one with the red striped shirt, who’s your name?”
Andy: “Andy.”
Finn: “Oh, Andy, I like that name, what’s your question?”
Andy: “Are there any acrobatic fishes in the ocean?”
Finn: “Oh, what a fintastic question!”
Finn: “You bet there are, now let me tell y’all some of the most acrobatic fish in the ocean, they are flipping energetic!”
Finn: “Let’s start with the most recognizable one, The Dolphin!”
Finn: “These agile animals can launch themselves out of the ocean up to 6 meters in the air, and do flips, rolls, and twists.”
Finn: “They are acting like ‘oh yeah, check this out, Humans.’ and then do some barrel rolls while jumping out of the ocean, even the experienced acrobatic Humans will gasp at their acrobatic ability.”
(Audience laughs.)
Andy: “But we’re talking about fish here, not mammals.”
Finn: “Oh, you want to tell me the true fish that are acrobatic?”
Finn: “Alright, let me introduce y’all to Manta Rays, they are large, graceful animals, but you know what, they can leap themselves out of the ocean too, despite their large size.”
Finn: “I wonder, do they want to communicate, remove the parasite from their body, or were they just being playful, but whatever they do, they are raymarkable to sea!”
Finn: “If this large fish will make you awe, then wait until we see the flying fish, I don’t talk about that feathered fish.”
(Audience chuckles.)
Finn: “They don’t need that, instead, they have a set of wing-like fins.”
Finn: “Just imagine a predator tries to chase them, the prey took the line ‘You never catch me!’ to a whole new level.”
Finn: “They jump out of water, then, using their wing-like fins to glide up to 200 meters, before they enter the ocean again.”
Finn: “I’m pretty shore the predator will get tired of them.”
(Audience chuckles.)
Finn: “Alright, the next acrobatic fish that comes into my list is a speedster, the sailfish!”
Finn: “And speaking about the sailfish, has anyone here ever tried to fish for a sailfish before?
(An audience member raised his hand.)
Finn: “Oh, such a strong guy, what’s your name?”
Jack: “My name is Jack, and I am a fisherman who loves to challenge myself.”
Finn: “Oh, Jack the Fisherman?”
Finn: “Well, I heard Jack the Lumberjack before.”
(Audience chuckles.)
Finn: “So, how was your experience fishing for a sailfish?”
Jack: “I find it a fun experience, my fishing team is involved in a challenge where we had to catch a sailfish.”
Finn: “I mean, those fish are large and very agile.”
Jack: “Absolutely, one day, at the ocean, we decided to throw a fishing line with bait into the ocean just as usual.”
Jack: “My team is waiting for 13 minutes, and then, it’s game on!”
Jack: “I try to reel in that fish.”
Jack: “At first, it feels heavy, and the fish fights strongly.”
Finn: “The fish is like, ‘Oh, get off, get off this hook from my mouth!’, try to make sure not to become Human’s food.”
(Audience laughs.)
Jack: “The fish decided to jump, and I could see the fish at first glance, it was a sailfish.”
Jack: “I continue to fight, try to make it exhausted, it does make jump after jump.”
Finn: “This will only make the sailfish exhausted quickly.”
Jack: “Yeah, the sailfish was exhausted after 11 minutes, but not before it made a final jump into my boat directly. My crew and I managed to avoid its dive.”
Jack: “And that's how my crew and I caught my first sailfish.”
Finn: “Wow, what a story, that fish is like ‘I’m gonna make sure you have to pay the price, after you hooked me’, and somehow failed spectacularly.”
(Audience laughs.)
Finn: “Anyways, is anyone here who wants to give a question to me?”
(He continues doing his usual activity in his fish talk meet up.)
