To each his (or her ) own - those fish look nasty to me! Thanks for the well-wishes - hopefully I'll be posting from NYC if there's time!

wow! you have indeed learned their tricks! biggies...did you name them????

ac said...

Those fishes don't have a chance now. It is SO OVER for them. HA!

Very cool!!!! about you maybe coming here for vacation. I'll take you fishing (if I can walk by then!) Not fresh water...

We don't really have much fresh water around here. What we do have, you need a boat to fish.

I don't have a boat. :-(

You guys can use my poles to salt water fish around here. (It's different from fresh water poles and tackle.) I have many extra salt water poles.

Hope the Captain is home when you come. He would carry me somewhere to fish with you if he had too.

I can give you the days he will be home if you want them. They might fit with your days. This will be so fun if we can pull it off! I'm so excited! hugs!


PS Don't let me get all up in your vacation. It won't hurt my feeling if this doesn't work out where we fish together. I will still fish vicariously through you here. HA!

SOUL said...

raine-- hi again :))

i'm not one to fish jigs very often.. so i'm kinda re-learning . basically ya just flip it, like a tube, or worm or whatever, let it fall.. hop it a little now and then back to you-- and that's about it.

the fish are really slow here lately-- thats when i thought-- jig !
and look what happened. you oughtta try it if they're slow, and under cover. they're hard to get used to, but once you do, it could become a favorite bait.
good luck!!

have a good night-

SOUL said...

hey blur---
i don't know about smart-- i just think like a fish sometimes-- my brain is about that size ya know :))

is it friday yet???

SOUL said...

j lee-- don't be jealous-- just come over and let me take you fishin !!!

SOUL said...

EE said...

Karen said...

Hey Soul
I hope you didn't fall asleep mid way thru bringing that baby in...ha, that was so funny when you fell asleep on my blog. I should probably be offended because I don't think I've ever actually sent someone to sleep before, bit I'm not don't worry. It gave me a chuckle.

Awesome catch good lady. I think you are too too clever.

SOUL said...

e-- that's what catch and release is all about-- there would be no big'ns if everyone kept them all..

besides-- that pond would be empty if me and soulman kept all ours..

people say there is a seven pounder in that pond-- that's the "walter " people talk about-- he's the one i'm after !

anyhow-- good to see you !!!
hope all is well in your world-

SOUL said...

oh man, gypsy NO-- don't be offended---
you weren't comin around back in the day that i would take my laptop to bed-- and fall asleep on a regular basis on blogs. it had nothing to do with what i was reading....but oh laaaawdy lawwwdy. soulman would rescue me weekly from laptop cord strangulation. i hadn't done that in sooo long.
just lately i've been trying to get -- or stay caught up, that i have been staying on too long. after meds again.. and well.. all i can say is i better stop-- cuz i think i did it again somewhere else.
:((

anyhow-- :))
have a good weekend-
