Fishing Trip

I was in a boat with several other people.  We were there for the specific purpose of fishing.  The boat was traveling though the water very fast and I hooked a fish.  I shouted out for them to slow down but the driver kept on with the speed.  The fish was pulled off the hook because we were going so fast.  I caught another fish and got it in the boat.  There was  a woman on the boat and she said we had to purify the fish before we could eat it.  We had to purify it by kissing it's chest.  Nobody actually kissed the fish however we blew on the fish and tapped its chest three times.  I asked the lady where she learned this ceremony and she told me Uranus.  I watched the fish.  It was not flopping around but just laying on the boat very still.  There was a light in its eyes that slowly went out.  We then chopped off the head and tail of the fish.  The head we attached to a pole and dragged it in the water.  I noticed other fishing boats were doing the same thing with fish heads.  I asked the captain why and he said to get little pieces of fish meat in the water to excite the other fish.  I looked around where we were fishing and saw it was a channel.  The channel was lined with rocks on each side and was perfectly straight as far as I could see.  Boats were traveling very fast.  I looked behind me and there were so many boats in the channel they were churning up the water.  The water was all foamy and white with large waves.  The boats passed all around us and our boat was completely swamped with water.  I looked up front and my camera was soaked in water.  I turned it on and it still worked.
