Clue/Question:  The angler released the fish back into the water and said – – –

Answer:  CATCH YOU LATER

(He lives . . . to swim another day!  And, now he’ll have a story to tell all the other fish.  Maybe, he’ll remember the experience and not bite at the next worm on a hook that he sees?  Doubtful.  I remember catching the same fish a couple of times, on the same day!  When they see food they eat it.  That’s the punchline to the old gag about being on a seafood diet!

We’ve seen all of today’s clue words in previous Jumbles.  Two of the jumbles came up as new, for me.  But we’ve definitely seen both “lyatl” and “ghutta” sometime before.  “Concur” is a big word in our house because of the movie “Catch Me If You Can”, with Leonardo DiCaprio.  He’s a young conman who, at one point, pretends to be a doctor after watching some episodes of “Dr. Ben Casey”.  His big thing was to ask all the real doctors:  “Do you concur?!”  And, of course he’d usually answer them: “I concur.”  The answer letter layout was a very impressive thirteen letter jumble.  Expertly crafted by David L. Hoyt!  But because of the final answer slots, I got the answer right away.

Fine cartoon of a happy, and responsible, fisherman.  Looks a little bit like my buddy, Mark!  He loves to go fishing in his kayak.  He’s mostly catch and release anyway, regardless of size.  It’s just a great way to spend time outdoors, communing with nature.  I got a kick out of the other fish under the water.  Great Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
