So this is something you don't see every day:

I just bought this trigger and a powder blue tang at a LFS I go to occasionally that's about 30 minutes from my house. I mentioned to them that I had a 30 minute drive home, so I wanted a decent amount of water in the bags. They complied and then put the bags in a cardboard box for me to bring them home in.

We were about 12 minutes into the drive when my son, who was in the back seat with the fish said "I think one of the bags is leaking". I asked how bad it was and he investigated and said "there is a lake in the box and the trigger doesn't have much water left in his bag".

I decided to pull over on the side of the highway and discovered that the the trigger had bitten four or five holes in his bag and water was leaking out from all over. I was trying to figure out if there was a way I could position the bag so that the holes were above the water line or if I might need to put the trigger into the same bag as the tang when a police car pulled up behind me.

He asked what was going on, then he said "well, I have a plastic bag if that would help, but it's an evidence bag". I said that would be very helpful, so he went and grabbed the evidence bag and we transferred the fish and mopped up the car and this is how he rode home.

I guess you could say he was bagged and tagged :)

Awesome story glad it worked out for the fishie.. OHH I Think the chain of custody has been broken due to no Recorded info ... The office should have signed off on the transfer of bags...

LOL I've had triggers get themselves in all sorts of odd predicaments over the years, but that's a new one to me as well.

At least it wasn't the tang police. (I'll show myself out)
