Pelican version of "Betcha' can't eat just one".
"A funny bird is the pelican,
His beak can hold more than his bellycan."
(Ogden Nash)
The marlin weighed 130 lbs. He got the hook into his gills, so we could not release him alive. The boat captain was very happy to get the meat for his family gathering over the weekend, so it didn't go to waste.
Ogden Nash wasn't an old nautical muse...
The last line goes something like this:
"I wonder how the hell he can"
(I can't remember if there's a another line in there."
Ah Ha, here's the fish.. Marlin..
I would like to see a pelican one day.. He can store his food in his large pouch b4 it hits the stomach...
Maybe a good way to prevent over eating:)
