Inspiration for this lens
Out of (and in) the mouths of babes

It got a good laugh from the office staff.
"My mom catches fancy fish down at the word pool!

101 Ways to Bow to the Audience
The audience makes fancy fishing worthwhile
All good fancy fishers bow to their audience to show gratitude. In the depths of the ocean, one indeed notices the seriously gratuitous nature of meeting up with a friendly species on the ocean floor. It's cause for a smile, and perhaps even a giggle.
