Judo match.
When Hook-Jack called for Elma, he stood up on his tail, but Zcumby at once pounced from behind with Ahhhh --tuck --ahhhh --tuck!
Kicking him in the tail, Zcumby flipped Hook-Jack over. Essazz approved the move by raising his tail. Ahhhh --tuck --ahhhh --tuck! Zcumby pounced on Hook-Jack with ferocious force, twirling his body like a tornado in water. "Cock wars --Cock wars --Cock wars!” yelled the spectator fish. "You stupid fool!” Hook-Jack cried out. “This is my waterway! Get away from here and leave my Queen alone.” "Your Queen!” The two tall cocks began a giant fight, tangling fins in an ashi-waza move. Teeth tore flesh and tails hit bone. Hook-Jack won ten points. "Cock wars --Cock wars --Cock wars!” yelled the spectator fish. Zcumby hit Hook-Jack from the right and the left.

"Jujitsu!” cried out Referee Essazz The two opponents were hitting each other with heads, fins, tails, and teeth. Essazz, the referee, cried out as Zcumby tore the fins of his enemy, piece by piece. Hook-Jack tried to tear out the eye of his opponent. Their tails tangled to tilt each other off balance, while Zcumby submerged Hook-Jack into the deep water. Finally, finless, tailless Hook-Jack was defeated, and breathed his last while looking at Elma's charm. Zcumby declared victory by claiming Elma's fin. Together, they guarded their redds all winter long.
