Thanks Tin-Can.
I did some research several years ago myself and also found out there was one of those poorly designed ships that was running a load of bananas from South America to the US that sank. They brought her up, repaired her, then sent her on the same run. She sank again, so it must be those Bananas. At the time, that myth busting site thought that was the start of the superstition.
The funny thing is that in our store there is a brand of scent that has, yes, wait for it, BANANNA. For the last two years, when Strawberry was hot on the ice, that was one of the favorite scents. It killed the fish.
In the late 90's, a guide on the Columbia River for Sturgeon would go through his client’s lunch and toss out the Bananas. All the guides would, and the river had those yellow things floating for miles. LOL SO, I, BEING a little bit of a trouble maker, snuck one in my coat. I use to help Len so I never paid, I was an unpaid and unofficial deck hand. One day the regular deck hand was there so I got to fish, and after bringing the top three fish to the boat, one over 12') I pulled out my Banana and ate it in front of the clients and the crew. LOL
Funny, I was never asked to be a deck hand again.
