Do they have fish this big in the desert?

42lbs, 46inches. Enough said!

Life's a beach...

MORE BEACH, LESS FISH...SOMETIMES THATS HOW IT GOES.

Fishin' and singin'

Check him out... bigger than my lunker from the other night? You be the judge! Have not done much fishing since that lunker... just the night after, when I caught this here beauty. Been spending most of my time at the beach during the day.
On a side note... Thursday I went to the Narrows Center for the Arts to see a performance. I would just like to get it out there that you MUST listen to the music of Boris McCutcheon. Take a listen and you will understand... it is some lovely music to fish by. www.borismccutcheon.com

Curious...

Whenever I catch a lunker and then see it on film , I ALWAYS question myself if it was actually as big as I thought it was... and I always wonder if I actually caught something the same size before or if this fish isnt any bigger than any of the others that I thought were lunkers... so I am going to post comparison shots of the other lunker I caught this summer from the dock... which is exactly the same spot I caught this fish tonight... same fish? Who knows... would be interesting if you could tag them some how.

... and then I taught them how to fish

Once the dark of night swept the pond and all my work complete... I decided to head down to the pond and show Wookie and Hooper how to catch some fish. The following pictures will show you that I showed them EXACTLY how it is done. Yes, I know there are MANY pictures of this ONE fish... but I couldnt help it... it was HUGE... not so much in length, only 20 inches... the gerth of the fish was amazing. As you know I always feel like the fish just dont present well in pictures... always look so much smaller... but trust me this one is definately a first cousin of Old Man Sawdy, I like to call her Betty. No smoke and mirrors with these pictures... you know, no holding the fish closer to the camera... I tried to hold her near the reel to be able to compare the size...
As you can tell I was "slightly" excited... I know, i know... I take TERRIBLE pictures... I NEVER said i was photogenic... but i will say I know how to catch the lunkers... skill is way better than being able to strike a pose... ha ha ha . This was the ONLY fish I caught on my portion of the trip... but you know how it goes...a Master merely has to strike once to get her point across.

Fresh off the press...

Wookie and Matt Hooper decided to do some dock fishing tonight, secondary to the thick fog on the pond, however, when they got down there it turned out to be clear enough for the canoe... so they made there way out there in the canoe... and got lucky... with the fish, and possibly each other, knowing the Wookie. Here are some pictures from their trip... Good 'ol Hooper, knows you have to show the fish some love...

Tall Ships

A few weeks ago we went to mom and dad's boat, in Newport , to watch the parade of ships. Needless to say it was HOT that day, but fun just the same. Shug and I tried yolking some STRIIIIIPAHS in a spot that was hot last year around that time... but no such luck... So here are a few pics I took that day... Enjoy! Thanks for reading. Fish On!

Date night... what was on the menu?

Just a few pics to let you see what was on the Menu for "date night"...

Finally!!!

Sadly, I have not been fishing since JUNE 20th. Too many things going on in our lives right now... that fishing just can't fit in... except for tonight, which was date night. So after a luscious dinner of lobstah and steak tips, we hit the pond, with Dad. Even sweeter, date night with my two favorites guys. It was supposed to be a fishing contest, Farias vs Parent... BUUUUUUT someone, Ron, chickened out, Ron, because they, Ron, feared the rath of the Parent team ;)
So, minus the chicken, Ron, we headed out... it was fun, relaxing and stress-free... just what the doctor ordered for us right now.
