Timely fish tale: Hawaii fish coughs up gold watch.

ELEELE, Hawaii (AP) -- Hawaii resident Curt Carish boasts a timely fish tale: a 10-inch reef fish he caught by hand in shallow water coughed up a ticking gold watch.

Carish says he was enjoying a picnic Wednesday on Port Allen beach when he saw the nenue fish awkwardly swimming close to shore.

He says a friend gave him a bamboo stick and told him to get the fish. So he jumped into the waist-high water and hit the nenue until it went limp.

He noticed the fish had an abnormally large belly as he tossed it into a cooler.

A friend opened the cooler later to discover a gold watch next to the fish's mouth.

Carish says the watch was ticking and keeping correct time.

Can you guys hear the greenies freaking out over the part where he beat the fish to death?

That's a total BS story the photo the guy showed of the fish that supposedly swallowed the gold watch was a 10 inch Enenue, and the watch couldn't fit in the Enenue's mouth. Enenue as any local boy who fishes knows is a herbivore, and has a small mouth designed for grazing on limu. The picture showed the band barely fit in the mouth. I think this guy fabricated the whole story to get his face in the news not knowing anything about local fish.

Defiantly looks "fishy" to me too.

I say this is proof that the gold Kastmaster really works!

maybe it was one of those "enchanted wishing fish" and it was about to grant someone a wish when that ass with the stick clubbed it !! DAMN IT one less wishin fish!! how my supposed to get my 10 million with less and less wishin fish! i keep releasing em but none ever grant me the 3 wishs!
