Like Catching Fish in a Tank

Or is it, ‘Like shooting fish in a barrel’?
Anyway, it’s not as easy as you think.

I stood there for ten whole minutes and didn’t catch bubkus in The Husband’s tilapia tank.
I might enjoy fishing more if it were like carnival fishing. I’d feel the tug of the line and pull it up and even though I may not have caught the coveted grand prize tilapia, I’d find a small consolation prize clothespinned to the end of the line. Only, instead of the cheesy prizes they typically give away at the carnival like mini Tweety Birds or wooden toy gliders, they’d be things I could really use. A free mexican mocha from Hava Java! A $10 Guamcell card! A tube of cherry Chapstick! That would be so cool.
My consolation was that The Husband didn’t catch anything either.
