No one can explain why tarpon eat purple flies. The prey species are not purple. The water is not purple. And yet, when you swing a Purple Demon through a Keys channel at first light and a hundred-pound fish inhales it with the casual violence of a closing car door, the 'why' becomes irrelevant. Some questions are better left to philosophers. Fishermen have tarpon to catch.
