Predatory Trial Lawyer Caught Off the Coast of Florida

As I wrote in a post on Saturday, I traveled to Florida earlier this week on a secret junket.  Although the precise details of the junket must remain a secret, I can reveal that on Monday I did a little deep-sea fishing with my friend John Carey. 

Much to my surprise, there are predatory trial lawyers lurking off the coast of Florida.  On the left is one I caught myself, pictured in the act of regurgitating the contents of its stomach onto the boat's mate.  (What you see in the predatory trial lawyer's mouth is the lower half of the baitfish, which was being ejected outwards at the moment I snapped the photo.)

Not surprisingly, the trial lawyer I caught looked almost identical to a smaller version that a certain tort reform organization was recently handing out at the Madison County Fair.  I wasn't any happier about seeing a predatory trial lawyer in Florida.  After lecturing him sternly about throwing up on potential clients, which is normally a problem for trial lawyers only when the bars are closing, I tossed him back into the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. 

Actually, it was the mate who tossed him back--I was too afraid the angry creature would try to bite my arm off, as many of my own co-counsel have attempted to do from time to time.  I've got the scars to prove it.

Here we're preparing to baitfish in the shadow of a  cargo ship.  That's John Carey on the right; the mate is on the left.

Here we're headed away from the same cargo ship, now viewed from the back side, much farther away.

John Carey is landing a dolphin (the mahi-mahi type).

 
Some of our catch--all dolphins, slightly discolored as a result of sitting in ice all day. 

I'm on the left; John Carey, the real fisherman, is on the right.

"I tossed him back into the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean." Professional courtesy? ;-)

I bet the folks over at Overlawyered would've had shark steak for supper.
