Are you the catcher or are you getting caught?

(for @heart-pirates-week day 8, Hakugan & caught)

When the debate of who gets to fish escalates:

In midst the scuffle, Hakugan tumbles over the edge. Penguin reacts instantly; a precise swing with the fishing rod prevents the man from an uncomfortable, wet collision. "Nice catch!" the masked man shouts. But now, dangling in the air as the hook secures the unlucky fellow just right, his initial enthusiasm quickly dies down. Being a skilled fisherman, Hakugan is used to do the catching. And not end up as the catch himself. Eying the rippling ocean surface, his gaze locks with smoldering, danger promising orbs. But he wouldn't be a Heart pirate if he couldn't turn this into something fruitful. If it means to act as bait for now, then so be it! Hopefully the creatures meat will be worth the hassle when they'll barbecue it with the crew later. Because one thing is certain: The one who will overshadow their prey is him. The outcome already decided as the noose pulls tight around the beast's fate; hook, line and sinker.
