The truth is hard to spot in this item description.

Yeah, I can't even see the stripes!

With an asking price of $1200, that seller must be triping! But he/she probably doesn't have the intestinal fortitude for that ...

You would think a striped bass would be good for playing scales.

But he says it was chemically striped. That's probably why it had to be re-finned.

While a "LEFTY VINTAGE LEFT McCartney" is a powerful lure, don't take the bait.

Perhaps the whole thing is a bit fishy Dave? (ducking to avoid thrown objects)

I'm surprised that Peter didn't bite on this line of discourse ...

Even a fish out of water wouldn't be reeled in!

Holy Mackerel!! You guys just can't fathom the waves and waves of bad jokes that Peter has coming down the pike....

So if the description is a little crappie, we just need to remember that someone has played this striped bass...largemouth???

Well, someone will probably take this auction hook, line, and sinker.

I don't think those are the original tunas.

Peter still hasn't taken the bait?
