XXL!

2010-11-23T15:31:00.000-08:00

possible new record

for a 22.5 lb largemouth

coming out of tokyo

waiting to hear confirmation

from IGFA

*Update: apparently it's a tie

A tie? That's right. According to IGFA regulations for record fish weighing less than 25 pounds (such as all of the black bass subspecies), the replacement (record applicant) must weigh at least two ounces more than the existing record. The Japanese fish that is subject of such interest and inquiry today outweighs Perry's fish by less than an ounce.

Boards, boards, boards! These boards have top notch printing and are made to order. Here's what the Artsprojekt had to say about the quality: "Zazzle's patent-pending manufacturing process is the first to utilize new printing technologies for one-off custom skateboard decks, producing a beautifully vibrant image. The offering is a full end-to-end experience - consumers are able to choose from a wide variety of pre-designed boards from the ARTSPROJEKT community of designers and content partners, create the product online and have it produced within 24 hours of ordering". Decks are seven-ply North American maple and supplied by PS Stix. Damn, sounds good to me! Big thanks to Andy Howell for making this all possible.

fishing trip. life doesn't get much better than this

Captain Sparling

2008-04-11T19:56:00.000-07:00

the fisherman is the one who familiarizes himself with the ways of fish, he who studies out and observes the peculiar traits, habits, and haunts of the various fish he sets out to capture. he who acquaints himself with the facts as to their sense of sight, scent of hearing, their mode of existence, foods, likes, seasons, etc., thus qualifying himself to better understand them, so as to take advantage of their habitat, avoid their ready perception of things, and fool their cunning.
