Tom ignores the 'No Fishing', 'No Entry' and 'Beware of the Dog' signs as he heads to a lake that appears to be alive with fish. Sneaking past Spike the Bulldog is a little tricky but eventually he gets to the jetty and comes to select his bait. He decides to go with live bait... Jerry! The fish are keen to bite bit Jerry just kicks them away until a giant fish with a set of teeth that would make an alligator jealous spots him! Jerry beats a hasty retreat followed closely by the fish that snaps all the way and doesn't stop until it has chomped through Tom's rod. Tom continues to try to catch the fish and eventually gets it out of the water; it flies though the air and slaps Spike in the face... Tom now has Spike, the fish and Jerry to contend with! What follows is the usual slapstick violence as Tom and Spike batter each other while Jerry helps stir things up; all the time Tom must avoid the teeth of both Spike and the fish.
This is another fun short; the toothy fish made a great adversary; his teeth made him look far scarier than Spike. The fights contained the sort of gags we've come to expect but that is okay as they were well executed. Sometimes one has to feel sorry for poor Tom but not here; in this one he has already caught Jerry with the intention of using him for bait so I didn't feel too sorry for him when the tables were turned. The animation looks great and the backgrounds are fairly detailed as one would expect from a 'Tom and Jerry' short from this era.
