There are places in the Amazon where the tetras school so thickly that you could walk across their backs without getting your feet wet. Indeed, it could be a bridge made of rummies.

The American shad we're catching here in OCMD are so prolific that they would just eat up all the tetras in the Amazon and then you won't have a fishy bridge to walk across.

The Chad (actor Chad Everett) we're catching here in Waddy Peytona just ate up all the tetras in Beargrass Creek. We no longer have our fishy bridge to walk across. Let that be a lesson to us all.

Not many fish in Chad, since it's mostly desert. Sahel of a place.
