Somethin’ Fishy

As a fisherman, Clyde spends most of his time on the water. He’s seen all kinds of creatures out there… whales, squid, sharks. But when it comes to the ocean, there’s always a bigger fish.

Thank you, Clyde, for sharing your story with us. We hope you never see that thing again… But if you do, you know who to call.
