Pete gotta get somthing mor up to date there bro. With my pics the first was my army days.. the second holding the sks was about 5 years ago. And last and ugly one was a couple of weeks ago at most. I did it that way so you could see the babyface go away and the uglyness settling in.;-)

Thanks.

Grilled squid is great,
but I would choose grilled or broiled Octopus over squid  :-)
Although, crab is my favorite from the Ocean.

I had Rellenong Bangus for dinner tonight,
fish was fresh, never frozen, delicious :-)

Dan,  Yeah, that fish was a barely legal (lengthwise) sturgeon caught in a private fresh water pond by my daughter, 12-years old at the time (4 years ago).  She was able to bring it to shore, but I had to land it for her.  It wasn't much of a fighter....  and we didn't keep it, but it sure made us proud!

JD!  You must be able to do anything with photoshop, if that is, you know how to work the thing.

Does being in 0 gravity make you feel like when you drive over a Thank-you-ma'am in your car?  That's such an odd feeling.

Thanks Frank and Dan - I'll be sure to let Mom know!!  People are always surprised at her age (mine too!!)  She attributes it to the Italian olive oil running through our veins lol.  As for the resemblance?  We have been getting that since I was a kid and neither of us see it - of course when I was young I was totally offended!  That's my Mother and she is OLD!!!  Thanks a lot :( 

Now, I accept it and say thank you ;)

Seeing that we are talking fishing... Here I am.
From Drop Boxclass="bbc_img">

Heavy into surfcasting for Striped bass in New England and casting to Bluefin tuna with spinning gear. Fished just about everywhere, Cuttyhunk, Block Island, Montauk, Cape Cod Beaches, etc. Had a wooden saltwater lure business selling thousands of lures on the east coast, some to the west coast, and some internationally. Sold the business a while back.

Nice catch Martin. Growing up we used to snag paddlefish in the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers of Montana and North Dakota. If a person can keep one, I still they are the best when cubed, beer battered, and deep fat fried. Of course what isn't good that way? I was thinking about adding a paddlefishing pic to this thread when it started last year.

Sorry I have been off the board but I am enjoying our new miracle before I go home Thursday.
I will post pics as soon as he's awake longer than he's nursing.
Thank you for asking Mike. I'm loving being a granny!
