Who is CatchingLunch?
Hi =) My name is *seagull noises* but you can just call me CatchingLunch. Sometimes I make my name Ari Opsis Felis when a "name" is required online.
Quick details about me:
- 🧬 BS Biology Student
- 👑 Fishbrain poster - I log every catch!
- 🚻 My gender is "other" :)
- 🪡 Tattoo artist
- 🏕️ I learned how to fish in Wisconsin's freshwater creeks in 2023.
- 🌊 I started fishing in Florida's saltwater Gulf in August of 2026. It's taken over my life!!! This is definitely my preferred water type.
- 🎨 Besides fishing, I love drawing, crochet, juggling balls/clubs, thriller/crime/comedy movies, microscopy, catcalling stray cats, asking my friends about their special interests, and collecting "mall knives".
- 🤿 I LOVE seafood but I have developed a bit of a fear of submersion in the ocean over the last few years. I am working on conquering this!!
I have always been personally passionate about biology, biochemistry, metabolic pathways, psychopharmacology, ecology, and certain animals like spiders, centipedes (scolopendra), and fish in general! Lately I have fallen in love with shrimp and hammerhead sharks; they're most of my current For You tab on social media lol.
My original Fishbrain username was @betheworm1738, and then @BeTheShrimp before I finally changed to @CatchingLunch. And hopefully this handle sticks.
They/them pronouns if you want to be respectful. Although I won't correct you if you refer to me as he or she. Ideally, mix them up!
Yeaah, I'm technically a 'scratcher'. But I did pass the Florida bloodborne pathogen course and I turn down designs beyond my ability. It's been a long while since I've tattooed another person anyways.
I've made fun of anglers who don't eat fish, so I think becoming an angler afraid of swimming was my karma. Oops.
