Your robotic noodling has caught the attention of V2 asset protection specialists not specifically in charge of saying their state’s economy is completely unhindered by CoV-2 or its safety measures! When the affidavits drop for that other one, look out!

Going by their past track record, some enterprising angler will have caught it as soon as it was released on a mission.

I wonder if they named it Catfish Charlie because of ‘Checkpoint Charlie’. Nnnaah. (But that may be what the CIA wants me to think.)

Oh and by the way, check out all the other, magnificent animal-mimicking dinguses that Festo has been pumping out these last fifteen years or so. I think the penguin even rated a mention by W.Gibson, IIRC: floaty penguins, what’s not to like?
