The Wonderfull Smell Of...Sharks?

This past Saturday my dad and my two little brothers, Dylan and Blake, went deep sea fishing. Ethan and I didn't go because we didn't want to miss our soccer games. (Which we both lost by 1 point) They were gone from 10 until around 4:30. As soon as they pulled the boat to the back I hopped in to look at the fish and the supposedly two sharks they had brought home. I had to help load everything off the boat and clean before I could look at the fish, so that took a good half hour maybe 45 minutes. As soon as I got off the boat I went straight to the cooler containing the fish. When i opened the cooler...BAM! Two sharks were sitting on top of the melting ice, life-less and dead. To tell you the truth, at first i was sort of freaked out because when i see a shark I expect it to be living or in a museum somewhere stuffed, not lifeless and still full of guts and blood. When I picked it up, a part of me wanted it to be alive to see it squirm, and the other part was saying "Chelsea, put it down, your guna drop it and daddy is going to get mad and your going to get in trouble." Well for anyone that knows me outta know I kept holding it. I mean honestly, how many chances are you going to get to hold a shark that your baby brother caught? Just for your information... I didn't drop it :] Well my dad waited till the next day to start cutting and cleaning the fish because it was to dark out side and to messy to do inside. when we opened the cooler...wow what a smell. The shark had begun to go bad, and when sharks begin to go bad...they stink! They smelled of ammonia and fishy water, not a good combination. Its just the right amount of stinky-ness to make you cringe for a couple of minutes. After standing around outside for a little bit, i got use to it. So as I grabbed a shark out of the cooler i handed it to my dad so he could cut it up. Even though they had gone bad, everyone still wanted to cut them up to see what was on the inside. We already knew it was going to be 90% meat and the rest would be either cartilage or intestines. We sliced it and opened up the guts. The first shark had some good eatin :] he had recently eaten an oyster that was still connected to its shell so it must have not of been in the stomach for long, otherwise it would have been deteriorated from the stomach acids. Wow I just went all science geek...at least I like science :] I really just wanted to inform people of the way sharks smelled when they go bad...so now you know!
