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...

He appears to be clearing the swim platform.  :o

That's a great pic.

So that's how you chum for Halibut up there

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

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

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  !!!

The population of eagles there seems to be doing well.

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

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

Absolutely beautiful, one of these days.... we are going to take a trip up there.  BTW, save that photo, your grandson may pay you big $$ someday for it

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

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...

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.
