Catfish
The 215 you brought back from down here!  Great to see you!  And don't worry about your kid/grandson, he's got his PFD on!

Besides, judging from the clothing, it's summer up there.  Water can't be TOO cold... :lol:  :lol:

Damn, have to think twice before the next Halibut fry...

Scott, we don't see scenery like that in Sarasota Bay, do we?

AS 215 DC in Valdez
« Reply #5 on: December 05, 2011, 11:37:02 PM »
Took the boat out about 40 miles to Columbia Glacier float ice and scooped up some chunks for the cooler - stuff lasts for days !! Had trouble filling the gas tank. We drilled out the filter at this end of the vent line -no more problem.  Air just wasn't getting out.  Mechanic said it had too many bugs from Florida in it !!  






Thought these might encourage Sea Bob to come up for a visit  !!!

Nice Boat! (nice outboard too  :wink: )  B-e-a-utiful scenery  :shock:  Looks like the long haul was worth it  

Question- Is the handle "Catfish Hunter" a reference from the movie "Grumpy Old Men"?

What, you want another "bug" from FL on her? :lol:  :lol:

Would love to make the trip up someday!  Marc, we could do a road trip!  Only take us like a frickin' week to get there... :shock:  :shock:

Mr. CF Hunter,

         Thank you for the really nice photos.  Particularly your new family heirloom, because that is just exactly what that photo of you holding that young fisherman is: That is a family heirloom.

         When you're taking the Dirt Nap, that little feller will be a big feller, showin' his little feller that photo, and he will be remembering some awful great memories of you.  

         Thanks for sharing those great photos.  T.

Trace,
I do believe that is the first time I have heard of expiration referred to as "the dirt nap"...had to think about that one a bit...

Bob,

Yes, the Dirt Nap is quite often preceded by one's placement into the Hurt Locker.  

Both are to be avoided when possible.  :wink:
