Inspired to post this shot after seeing the example of the Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual. The largest lake in the Commonwealth-Pymatuning State Park.
I have never seen anything like this scene and it was much more dramatic in person. My friend Joan took me here when we went up to see the then abandoned Conneaut Amusement Park while staying with a friend of hers. She had told me I wouldn’t believe it when I saw these fish. She was right! I have always wanted to post it but then it slipped my mind until I saw Sara Rosso’s email from WordPress today.
Perhaps a video would capture the effort of these creatures, desperate to get the Italian hard roll. They are all on top of one another. It seems a crowded existence.
I can hear the flapping of their bodies. Look how open their mouths are ever though they are no where near the bread. Unusual indeed. Glad you remembered to post. It’s an amazing photo.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks for taking time to look and leave me some good words today. I enjoy following your blog Francine and feel happy you are doing so well.
Wow and Yuck!! Even the ones far away are ready to catch a morsel. A great photo entry. Glad you remembered it.
Forgot to mention – Thank you so much for the pingback. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my entry.
You’re welcome. It is only recently I began to understand the ping back. I know it has increased traffic to my blog and hope it does the same for you. YUCK is right about the photo. It was one slimy mess.
Omg. They are really unusual fishes.I hope that they are delicious.
This photo is great! Those fish are huge! Although a little unusual, I want to know what happens next (lol). How do they all get piece of the roll?
Thanks for sharing.
Stunning shot Ruth! Great entry! 🙂
Thanks for your comment Sophia.

Incredible and certainly not something you’d see everyday.
Thank goodness cause I think that scene could give you bad dreams if you looked at it too often.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!!! 🙂
Putting a new angle on the loaf and the fishes with this one! Those open mouths . . .!
Thanks Patti. Creative comment!
I’ve seen a similar scene. You captured it perfectly.

Wow, that’s a lot of fish in one place. Too crowded for me! Great photo and thank you for the link back!
They look so “oily” like a grease slick.. very cool photo.. glad I’m not that bun;)
Not sure they would make good eating, though.

Great entry! Very unusual to see such a frenzy over an Italian hard roll. You captured the effort very well!
I wonder if they like the roll buttered or plain?

I can feel the frenzy that your photo has captured. I know I’m going to enjoy your blog so much. Just amazing photos.
Well you know what they say the early fish gets the roll!
Thats unsual alright and side of freaky. Only through the eyes of Ruth…
they’re really making the water boil with all that flipping and flopping about. Great shot
Great shot Ruth Excellent entry 🙂

Some of those fishes are like 5 fish miles away from the food, but they’re still trying to grab a bite!

the photo carries the feeling of that frenzy for the lone roll. I walked through salmon that thick heading upstream to spawn, and stood in a big holding tank full of live pollock, so the picture is reminiscent. . .
Ooh WoW! That is so funny and sad at the same time. 😉
I can only imagine how chaotic the live experience of this was!
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog this morning. I had a great time and hope I left my campsite clean enough for your next visitor.
Thanks for stopping by and staying awhile
You are welcome back anytime
I appreciate all the “likes” today
When I get home from school I plan to pop over to your blog and enjoy perusing!
Thanks again
