Fishing with John: Tom Waits (1991)
John and Tom go fishing in Jamaica for snapper. There are long periods of waiting before either of the men gets a bite. Tom finally catches a fish. Upon catching the fish, the men discuss catch and release, and Tom decides to put the fish into his pants. It is unclear whether this is what makes him irritable for the rest of the episode, but I have read somewhere that Waits refused to speak to Lurie for a year after the episode. Tom decides not to get seasick and waste his breakfast. The men fish.
