THE FISH THAT ALMOST WAS...
A fisherman recently caught the largest yellowfin tuna ever reeled in, but a stupid mistake kept him from having his catch officially recognized.
Robert Ross was fishing in Mexico when he reeled in the 430-pound fish, outweighing the previous record by three pounds. Ross called a local fishing charter business to report the big catch and have it officially recognized as a world record. The only problem is, before he called them, he filleted the giant fish.
A fish cannot be considered a world record unless it is weighed intact on an official scale certified by the International Game Fish Association. All he had was 430-pounds of fish guts. But he shouldn't feel too down. There are plenty of other 430-pound fish in the sea.
FLY THE BEERY SKIES...
Most people end up in the bathroom after having too many beers, but one Oregon man locked himself in an airplane toilet because he couldn't get enough tall cold ones -- and refused to come out until flight attendants served him.
Luke Watts flipped out on an Alaska Airlines flight out from Sacramento to Seattle when the cabin crew told him he was already too inebriated and refused to bring him a beer. Watts threatened violence against one flight attendant and began screaming at the rest of the crew before barricading himself inside the coach cabin restroom.
Once inside, he continued to demand alcohol, and added one more request -- that the attendants on duty all hug him as a way to make up. He got neither, but did get a nice pair of handcuffs slipped onto his wrists after the plane made an emergency landing in Portland.
PUNCHING A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH--
A Florida woman threw the mother of all hissy fits on Mother's Day -- by beating the heck out of her husband for buying her the "wrong" kind of candy and flowers.
Virginia Stewart went ballistic after her hapless hubby came bearing gifts that she wanted no part of. According to the police report, she started by giving the guy, whose name was not released, a serious tongue-lashing, then went on to smack him around with her fists and a wire clothes hanger. The 42-year-old woman then trashed the presents and smashed a slew of coffee mugs in the couple's kitchen.
Cops showed up a short time later in response to a hang-up call received by the 911 dispatch center, and took Mrs. Stewart in on charges of domestic battery. She's barred from having any contact with her spouse until after her next court appearance on June 9th.
