Gone Fishin' ...

Bonnets are cool, like hamerheads. When i was a lad i was in the boyscouts and our scout master built fishing boats, which would take us to catalina island which is 26 miles across the sea, on one trip i asked the guys for some shark jaws, they normally caught swordfish. They told me they'd have one for me when they picked us up. When it got time to leave the boat was there but it had broke its motormounts, so we had to go back on the normal boat, but they had a blue sharks head for me, they gave me the head in a plastic bag but they had cut the jaws out because it was still snapping, so here i am walking around with a sharks head in avalon, i remember some girls asking me what was in the bag, and when i showed them the eyes were still moving.

That's really awesome! I wonder what broke the motormounts... dun dun, dun dun

I dont remember it's been 30+ years

Well I guess it wasn't a shark cause you would remember that! Those must have been some decent sized jaws that you got considering they came from a blue shark.

Blues aint that big, maybe 8" to ten across.

Up date just got the lures packed up, tomorrow after work i'll hit the post office and get them sent out to all of you it is alotof work so hopefully you guys will like them, i dont want no carp from that bozo guy either! :biggrin: please understand in my way of thinking these are purely fishing lures, my higher grade ones are larger, have tack or glass eyes, etc. Dont get me wrong they are nice hopefully they'll arrive safely. Maybe you guys can post pics when you get them

At 8" that shark could still swallow my hand!

I have to get that movie now! Funny story that kinda goes along with that poster. I was once fishing old school style with a worm and bobber and I left my pole alone for a second to get some more worms and when I came back my pole was gone! :mad: I looked around and finally found it sitting on the bottom of the lake! Luckily I had a rake handy and was able to fish my pole out of the water. Lo and behold on the end of the line was a tiny little 3 inch bluegill. Now how is a 3 inch bluegill able to pull a fishing pole off a dock and into the water? Someone please explain this to me.

No sharks where I live so these will have to do, I tried fly fishing just too much work for me, but one of my best buds does quite a bit locally and also has a cabin down on the Delaware River...here's a nice trout...

My grandfather and one of his pals used to fly fish with michael landon (pa from little house on the prarie) they sure loved the trout
