Big STINKIE! (OT, in case you couldn't tell)

Post by captain_john »

Hey All,

My buddy just uploaded this picture of the fish I caught off his boat this past summer to his website and I thought I would share it with everyone.

I didn't weigh it but it was a bit over 42' long and tasted REALLY good!

I like striped bass. It tastes like a fish version of lobster meat. Not bad, really!

Mmmmmmm, striper!

Thanks guys!

John, it gives me time to reflect on my next airplane part purchase.

Lately, I have been noodling over engines and props. I already have the general scheme, but I am figuring out the details in my mind.

Honestly, I don't know how the QB's do it. There isn't enough "hands on" time in those kits before it is time to make MAJOR decisions!

I think that if I had a QB, I would be making hasty and not completely thought out decisions. The QB guys must be smarter than me and have more experience is all I can imagine!

When you guys come out here in the summer, we will have to go fishing!

DEAL!! I'm definately in on that!! The last time I was fishing off the coast, south of the Keys, our time was cut WAY short when a friend of mine got sea sick. We were about 8 miles of the coast fishing for Mahi Mahi, and I did catch a nice one before we had to go in, but we had another four hours booked, and had to head in. It did taste DELISCIOUS that evening though! I was kinda pissed about that, and haven't been able to get back out there since! :roll:

Wow 42' long, the picture doesn't do it justice. I know you meant 42", but it is a fish story :wink: . I've never caught anything near that big, but I do know eating what you catch the same day is way different than buying one in the local grocery store.
