[OT] A Big Fish Story(a.k.a. gloat)

[Lawrence L'Hote]

took a little time off my usual to deplete the state of Alaska of its excess fish population . Our group of 3 sent back 95 lbs of fillets. However, following are the requisite woodworking related pictures. My son taking a little break on an unusual sofa

can mount this fish but the artist won't let ya good limiting out with sockeye(reds) that's me on the left in the jeans next to my 4 fish(limit was three) that's me on the left next to my 3 halibut. the big guy in the middle was 72 lbs(pretty common...record is over 400)...halibut fishing will poooop you out!

Since I spent 14 of the happiest years of my life in Alaska, I am one of the few who knows just how much you such.

Great pics, great woodworking and Great State.

You live in one of the prettiest little towns in the country and you catch fish in Alaska ... you suck big time, brother. When's supper?

[Lawrence L'Hote]

...My son, his father-in-law(a good personal friend) and myself took the trip as a birthday present for my son. My sons wife hates fish and I didn't want to fool with them so his FIL got a freezer full of fish. He plans on giving most of it away. However, I do have over 300 good picture I could share...bears, moose, eagles, mountains, glaciers, water etc and on-and-on....fish too....

I completely agree with Swingman...you suck!

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

I'm off to the Maritimes for a couple of weeks at the end of July. Cottage on the Bay of Fundy, my wife's three brothers are fisherman nearby (Professional/commercial fishermen). Maybe I can go out with them for a cpl of days and handle the bait (semi-decomposed herring..with a little luck it will be choppy too, oh yay, turning green..LOL)

I'll be posting a few pics when I get back..*G*

Welcome to the Maritmes Robatoy. The weather has really sucked this year, but it should be nice by end of July.

Lawrence...you really suck. I'd love to get to Alaska to fish.

I have had tremendous luck with the weather in Nova Scotia over the last

6 summers. (Except one day last year when a buddy of mine got married in his backyard.. it rained. Being a HOG wedding, we made do with a few kegs. If it rains this trip, no biggie. It's a short hop to The Lower Deck...*G*

Hm. Suppose he'd mail some, say in a styrofoam cooler w/ ice packs...?
