And the Great Fish Master DonObi Wan Ordes looks out across the ocean.  As
his pupil looks contemplatively at the fingers on one hand while scratching
his head with the other, DonObi Wan speaks:

"Grasshopper...when you can count the fingers on your own hand...then you
will be ready to enter the world of entertaining fish stories."

"But Master, why does an interesting story depend on me knowing how many
fingers I have?"

"Ooooohhhh....Grasshopper, you not very bright...not very lifelike...never
will I make a Fantasy Fly in your image!
You must first learn how to COUNT before you can learn how to lie about
fish...."

The sun sinks lower toward the horizon.  DonObi Wan's pupil now looks at his
other hand...for a moment a sparkle of realization appears in his eyes...but
slowly fades away with the dying sunlight.  DonObi Wan releases a seagull
into the evening breeze.  The gull circles overhead and promptly craps right
on Chris' Wheel of Fishing Karma

> All in all, caught several fish throughout the morning.  Four species
> (perch, guitar fish, and halibut)...

If the barred surf perch is the 'perch' here, that's only 3...
Did you catch any corbina?
