ZeVonderBearz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Fighting fish? Damn fish doesn't even have a machete. Where's the gun? Or the knife? Or does the fish only produce it's weapons when an unsuspecting fish cuts into their swimming lane? Nice fish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
