John always had a love for fishing, it reminded him of how his uncles would always sneak him out of the house for early morning fishing trips when he was little.

After he'd retired from the military, he'd decided to buy a fishing boat and other fishing equipment to pursue his love for fishing.

While he was pulling up the nets to collect his catches, he struggled on one net, peering over the edge of the boat to see what in the world is so heavy in his net, seeing a trapped human...fish...thing? in the net.

"What the hell?" he asked, eyes widening in surprise as he watched the merfolk struggle in attempts to escape the net, their efforts fruitless.
