Now I know most of you have old fish pictures out there somewhere and I know most of you have digital cameras. That means you can take a picture of that picture and post a fish story here. I know you guys in Canada go some fish up there. C’mon now!


Okay, I'll show you how it's done. Here's another fish story and a picture of a picture.

I went out with the boys the night before and I swear I was only going to have a couple of beers. Two beers turned into four and four turned into eight and ........

You should never go out out drinking the night before an offshore fishing trip unless you are a masochist. I have no choice, I love to fish, I love to drink. I can't choose. Why can't I do both? Hey, it's a no-brainer, the absolute best of both worlds. I can have my cake and eat it too. Also, why go to sleep when you've stayed awake this long already? Heh, I know, I'll just stay up all night and go fishing when the sun comes up.

Suddenly, we are out in the gulf of Mexico and quickly catch our limit of kingfish. I'm not feeling too good already. We decide to tie off to an oil rig and fish for snapper. Bad move for me. Since we're tied off the boat is rocking like crazy. Water is slapping off of the barnacle encrusted legs of the rig and splashing onto us pretty good. On top of that there is a diesel generator spewing exhaust down on us. I glance up at the rig platform and see a roughneck looking down on us from about 60 feet up as if to say, "Idiots".

I can't take it no more, "cut us loose" I yell. We start drifting away from the titan rig as my stomach begins to churn like an old Maytag. I must be on an episode of fear factor. I don't want to puke. I'm holding back with all of my might but it's no good. The release is like flipping the valve on a four inch fire hose. Luckily I'm leaning over the boat and into the gulf. The vomitous stream blasts its way into the jet blue waters of the gulf much to my relief. My friends are too busy laughing at me to notice the clickers on their reels begining to click off. Slow at first then suddenly too fast to decern as a click anymore. Holy smokes! All Four lines are blazing and we're all hooked up on fish.

Nothing like Budweiser and maybe a little spagetti, and maybe some cheescake and maybe some eggs, oops, my cake and God knows what else to bring the beasts to the bait. Here's the one I caught on puker Saturday. Hope you like him, I guess it's about a fifty pound Kingfish.
Don't mind the stuff on my chin.

John,


Those don't grow in Texas. That is the Canadian Goosafisha, of the species nohydrus-haswingus. They are usually caught using a hot lead bait.

We don't have them in Florida either. I hear they are good eats. Taste like......Chicken ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif) ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif) ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif) ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif) ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)

If you’re eating bald eagle, I shall have to report you to the authorities. Bald eagles are an endangered and threatened species, and killing or possessing them (including in one’s stomach) is illegal. I shall have to report you as soon as I finish this margarita. icon_lol.gif

My Avatar is not my fish (I know a real fisherman would not admit this, but having our COE fresh in my mind...)

I did catch a waleye close to this (will post pic as soon as I get it scanned)
Was on lake Erie with freinds over a weekend... weather was bad most of the time until the day we went out... but that morning had woken up sicker than a dog.. throat almost swollen shut. Not to ruin anyones weekend, I was the trooper a said all was well. We were drifting using erie derie's and weren't catching much, 12 to 14 inchers. I would set my pole and walk back under the boat canopy. I was beginning to feel real miserable. All at once my pole bent nearly double. I fought it for what seemed like 20 minutes. It jumped like a bass and thrashed and dove trying to throw the hook. One of my friends was fishing off the back with his feet in the water... once we got it close, it spooked him to pull his feet out. Was one of the funnest catches I've made and the bad thing was I wasn't trying to catch fish at all.
Measured 27.5 inches. ne ver weighed it but figured 8-9lbs.
Would have had it mounted if it were fish Ohio (28 inches), but filleted it instead.

Will post pic tomorrow... have a grumpy boy on my lap right now.

That’s awesome Bill. I would also have to be on my death bed to miss a day fishing.


I'll never forget the time I was fishing with my Dad in a John boat. It had been a long hot day of fishing and we were about through. Beat to hell.

Dad's reeling in a spinner bait half asleep, not watching, head bobbing and looking down at the bottom of the boat.

His lure is about three feet away from the boat and in one fell swoop this bass that had to be about twelve pounds jumps out of the water with dads lure in his mouth. He snaps his head one time and the line breaks like it was made of silk. All we could say was holy sh!t.

I also would hate to miss a day fishing. I fish for new business everywhere: newspapers, magazines, Internet, past clients, Realtors, even driving down the road and seeing a sign for Joe Mama & Sons Realty.


Huh?

Oh, sorry. Wrong type of fishing. Hey, it's those margaritas.

I really can’t find time to go fishing. Maybe if there were some beautiful mermaids out there, I would definitely manage to find time to be out there on a daily basis.
