Anywho...was saving some pics on my computer tonight, and found some old ones from an enjoyable fishing trip I took in the pre-Troutrageous blog days. Think it was 2005. My wife's
uncle is a boat captain out of Jupiter, Florida. The in-laws arranged for a trip on his boat for my birthday present. Was a good time, even though I'm not a big trolling type of guy.
Garden gnomes are cool though.
It was a beautiful day, we caught a bunch of fish, and I had fun fighting a shark for a bit before it broke off the line. It was probably better that way, I'm pretty sure it wasn't an average shark - most likely it was a
sharktopus...and who wants to remove the hook from that?

| Fish On...yup, you like my fighting belt, don't ya? |
 |
| Hope that fish's last meal was worth it |
 |
| Lorraine rocks the belt much better - fierce! |
 |
| Broken off... Notice the Fogdog.com hat & $4 Walmart shades |

| Dinner. |
 |
| Weren't practicing catch & release on this day |

ReplyDeleteTrout,
ReplyDeleteFound you via my buddy Rick over at Whitetail Woods. Nice Bonito, or is that a Little Tunny? Nice pictures, and a well done blog!
Best regards,

@ Bill - I hope you do grab that Penn. Once upon at time they were actually made a stone's throw from me in Philadelphia. Today...well...not so much.
ReplyDelete@ John - Thanks, doin' what I can. This 100 degree heat we've been having has been keeping the fishing few and far between.
@ Albert - Thanks for stopping by. I'm far from an expert on saltwater fish, but I think we were calling them False Albacore, which I'm pretty sure is the same as a Little Tunny. I'll have to Google it and figure it out. BTW, I stopped by your blog as well. I'm not a hunter, but really enjoy your writing style, so consider me a "follower" now.
Hey Mike, Albert is right. It's Bonita. Had a lot of fun that day.
ReplyDeleteI just looked it up to confirm. It's a false albacore. Check out the markings running down the back. Bonitos have larger, thicker stripes. False albacore (little tunny) have the short wavy stripes. Here's two links for reference.
