French frogs

I've always wanted to catch a sturgeon.  I believe they are the biggest gamefish in the Great Lakes.  I've caught some 25+ pound Chinook but the sturgeons impress the heck out of me.

And they are utterly delicious...I first had smoked sturgeon at a Russian coworker's birthday party.  There were a number of foods I couldn't identify but tasted awesome.  I had to find someone who spoke English to tell me what it was.  At $50 a pound I won't be buying it anytime soon.  I probably ate over a pound of it, and didn't find out what it was or how much it cost until much later.

hooked a few of them never landed one though. I wasn't fishing for them at the time. I was fishing steelhead. They fish them in Menomonee.
They actually chain their fishing rod to the light house. You can hear the reels drag go like crazy when one takes the line.

you have a very strong will and it has kept you going . my father in law had that and lived until he was ninety .so you aren't going anywhere unless you get dragged down a ice hole fighting a big fish .And they will be telling that tale along time .

I was just saying what I think to keep myself from needless worry and concentrate on the things that might make a difference. (Doesn't always work.)

Nothing wrong with superstitions and rituals - works for baseball pitchers. 

they probably just make me feel safer....but I'm not giving them up....

K, that photo was gorgeous. I am glad you shared it. I'm sorry if it's what caused Ravyn to vanish for the afternoon, but just know that you brightened my day by posting it.

thank you Walnut I knew you guys would like it . I know I did . we spoil them bad down here . DIL says I'm worse than her father .I know they love it here . even their dog that won't let me touch it comes here and fallows me all over the place .

This is the biggest Chinook I ever landed. That's a yardstick under his belly.


And this was the beginning of my love affair with horses.

No - I'm hanging out here. Too much yammering can get on my nerves - I think I'm over 400 posts behind now. Think I'm giving up on the HAL thread, too. Today it dissolved into multiple pages of one word posts from people trying to win a sign.

Much easier to talk to friends here.

Walnut - that pic of you is adorable! (Of course the fish looks pretty sweet, too.!)
