Fishing 2012

[HolmenTree]

Yes great photos Virginia! Those bring back great memories when my first wife and I deep sea fished the Gulf 30 miles off Clearwater Beach.
We didn't catch a fish as near as big as a sailfish though

Nice going, Virginia! What did you do with the fish?

We will give all but what John will eat this week to the guys that work for us. I mean who doesn't like fresh fish (ha, except me)?

That flounder is a good eating fish, what about the red drum?

Congrats Gigi and team, and John. I am looking forward to getting Bub out fishing this year, got a rod and reel for him last weekend.

Those sailfish are magnificent creatures. They seem like a good species for catch and release, but I guess that wouldn't work in a tournament...? With a hook in the gut, they will die in any accord, I guess.

That will be fun, can't wait to see his first fish!

Oh Jay, we released him and he swam off strong! Even in the sailfish tournaments they are released. They make an delicious smoked fish but it is frowned upon to bring them back to the dock.

I should have known. Thanks for informing, Virginia.

How do you get them in the boat without gaffing them?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet talk, lol.

 

[sotc]

You have a good strong mate, lol.

Hole in one!

My dad and mom used to golf and both have had a hole in one...John had his today, only spearfishing. We went to a spot I think I have told you about, "red/black". We call it that because he can usually shoot a red or a black grouper off the hole. Well, today, the current was ripping but he dropped off the boat on the hole and within 4 minutes shot what he thought was only a red grouper...turns out there was a black right behind it that he hit as well. Holy smokes, he brings me the fish to get it on the boat and there were 2 grouper on the spear! How fun is that?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha! That's cool!!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Gigi, you more than ever need to acquire a taste for fish!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice

 

[Burnham]

John has really dropped the extra weight, Gigi...good for him. Nice bit of fishing, too .

 

[SoonerFan]

No luck involved at all. That was pure skill.

 

[MasterBlaster]

This ain't a hole in one!

It's a hole in TWO!!!
