JUST "MET" A NEIGHBOR ON HERE--LIVES OVER THE CAUSEWAY IN CORPUS AND IS A FISHING GUIDE. WE SWAPPED A LITTLE INFO AND i TOLD HIM ABOUT SOME FISH I HAD CAUGHT (HOLD MOST OF THE FAMILY RECORDS. SINCE I DON'T THINK I CAN POST THEM ON PM, WILL HAVE TO DO IT HERE.
TO MAKE YOUR FISH LOOK BIGGER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO STRETCH YOUR ARMS OUT OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, GETTING THE FISH A COUPLE OF FEET CLOSER TO THE CAMERA THAN YOU ARE. I NEVER DID THAT. DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME--AFTER I HAD SPENT TIME THROWING THE BAIT CASTING NET, HOURS FISHING, ETC, I LOOK PRETTY DARN SCRUFFY, AND OF COUE NO MAKEUP.
ANWAY, ONE IS OF ME WITH A 26: FLOUNDER i CAUGHT OFF THE PEIR AT cHARLIE'S PASTURE nOV. 1992. i ALWAYS DATE MY PICTURES AND PUT ON INFO THAT i HAVE. tHEN ONE IS OF ME WITH MY 30" 9 LB 15 1/2 OZ TROPHY SPECK TROUT. wHEN i CAME HOME WITH IT SON WANTED ME TO GET IT MOUNTED, BUT I TOLD HIM HIS DAD WORKED TO HARD FOR ME TO WASTE MONEY LIKE THAT. SO THEN HE WANTED ME ME TO FREEZE IT SO I COULD SHOW IT OFF. I SAID, NO THAT WOULD BE A WASTE OF FISH. SO HE TOOK SEVERL SNAPS AND THEN LATER THE FISH WAS EATEN. THIS SPECK WAS CAUGHT OFF THE SOUTH JETTY IN PORT ARANSAS AUG. L995
THE ONE OF ME WITH THE REDFISH IS RARE AS WE RARELY HAD A CAMERA. IT IS NOT MY BIGGEST--THIS ONE WAS 42 1/2" AND MY LARGEST THAT I GOT IN WAS 44". oN THIS DAY, MARCH 16, 1996, OUR SON HAPPENED TO HAVE HIS CAMERA ALONG AS WE HAD BEEN CATCVHING LARGE SHEEPSHEAD AND BLACK DRUM.
I HAVE HOOKED INTO THEM THAT TOTALLY EMPTED MY AMBASSADOR 5000 BAIT CASTING REEL OF EVERY INCH OF LINE UNTIL I SNAPPED AT THE KNOT AND ALL I COULD DO WAS HANG ONTO MY ROD AS THE FISH RAN OFF. I KNOW SOME HAD TO BE REDS, SOME BLACK DRUM, BUT OTHERS--WITH THE SPEED, I THINK ALONG THE LINE OF A JACK OR POSSIBILY KINGS.i HAVE NEVER BEEN DEEP SEA FISHING, MOST OF MY FISHING IS DONE FROM THE PORT ARANSAS JETTY, CHARLEIS PASTURE OR ROBERTS POINT IN LATE FALL, OR WADE FISHING IN REDFISH BAY.
