The most handsome fish in LJ
 

I was out fishing an undisclosed spot, with some sort of irresistible bait . The date is not clear in my head. I thought I would give this fish a chance before you all go hunting him down. So yes I did release him. With all this talk about radiation in japan and some articles I have now gone vegan.

He was about 4 feet long, didn't put up to much of a fight. This is a good reason to keep long pliers on the boat. Which of course i didn't have!

Introducing the big bad wolf fish!

Err What the Hell?

Wow!

Cool! I've caught my share of those while rockfishing. GNARLY. Definitely don't want your digits anywhere near that mouth :D

Wolffish is probably one of the tastiest fish you can get locally. It would definitely come home with me.

It looks like a "mother-in-law" fish.

WTF!? I thought it was a tortoise. Never seen anything like it. It looks prehistoric.

Lovely Creature!

2X, awesome eats!

The article's about radiation are far off and very biased. I can say this I was on one of the ships that responded to the incident and we had guus on shore not to far away helping clean up the debris from houses and what not. And we are all fine.

If I see that thing at the end of my line I'll be total freaking out:eek: any how, congratulation for your catch:)

I think I dated his sister in college :cool:

And we thought midship man were ugly. That's a unique species to put on your list of fish caught. They are actually pretty docile at boat side and nothing like a big thrashing, gnashing, snapping, moray.

I don't want to expose any secret spots, but how deep were you fishing?

Sharon> It is always funny...
 

when an old boyfriend who has really gone downhill lately due to drug use ...shows up on the water and comes up asking for a second chance...:biggrinjester:

If people say, "It's very tasty", we're eating it, we don't care how ugly it is, and that fish is very ugly. Congrats on your very unique catch.

BTW, the chaos created by Japan's nuclear disaster, isn't going to stop us from eating local fish. When it's your time to go, it's your time to go. Many people die at our age, but it'd be nice to keep going for 2, 3, or 4 more decades, and still kayak fishing during most of them. Julie's "busia/busha" lived until she was 98, my grandparents til their 80s. So, what's a little radiation, it can't be much worse than what we did to ourselves in our youth, and over the years, but living the clean life now, just might make up for some of that, or so we hope :)

Had no clue we had those around here

That's pretty funny!!!

For the record I was joking about being vegan. Don't worry I eat plenty of fish!

But I will say this guy didn't look very edible.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Best one I've heard in a while....

Haha...you don't know how true that statement is for me.

i do agree much of the hoopla regarding Japan's radiation contamination is VASTLY exploited by the "disaster" websites & news channels of the world. but as an engineer/physicist studying & working with radiation for years when i was younger, i also think it may be somewhat more of a future hazard all around Pacific ocean, than many are willing to acknowledge.


you are all fine now. hopefully it stays that way in future years.
radiation exposure is at times, not an immediately damaging problem.



radiation is a very resilient contamination, and a very destructive item to humans & human tissue & cells.

if present, it is typically much worse than ANYTHING many of us did to ourselves with drugs/alcohol/partying in our younger days.
