Up early because of the long day at work tomorrow ...
ReplyDeleteI don't think that there are any limitations on weeds but I'm pretty sure this one got thrown back anyway!
BBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteWell it is a big one lol
ReplyDeleteIf the snow ever goes away, a nice fishing trip would be awesome
ReplyDeleteGreat pic!
Fishing fun! Can't wait for the summer. At least its a big weed though! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks a lovely place!! i have never tried fishing, is it fun?
ReplyDeleteThis was the last day of a 3 day trip to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. The day before, Saturday, Bruce and I fished from 4:30 in the AM until 9:00 pm. This was a small cove off the main lake. We were just trolling along and not having much luck when I felt a tug on my line. I set the hook and nearly took Bruce out with the weed. He always picked on me for bring up the "salad" so he took a picture of the "big one". Of course what he didn't take a picture of was the 5lb Smallie I caught the day before. I can not wait to go back up this summer. This year we are going a little earlier and hope to catch the bass pre-spawn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the background, Andrew. And I think it's a great weed no matter what anyone says! I hope to have one of my own someday if you actually do teach me how to fish.
ReplyDeletenice catch!
ReplyDeleteClaire as I have tried to explain to many others, there is something almost Zen-like about fishing. Most people think it is a worm a hook and off you go. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There is weather conditions, water color and temp, moon phase, feeding activity, and then you have to choose the proper lure and present it so the fish will be attracted to it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway the Zen part is being on a calm, still lake with the sun coming up and the birds singing in the trees along the shoreline. The night scavengers hurrying back to thier lares for a days sleep. All of the tension just leaves your body.
Then all the planning you have put into it pays off and WHAM-O the line goes taunt, the rodtip bends and now the good part, the fight. There is nothing on this earth quit the same as fighting a fish for 5-10 minutes and then swinging it over the side of the boat and "lipping" it. You look at it and often wonder if anyone has caught this fish before or are you the first one. We strictly do catch and release, so the fish is returned back to the water as safely as possible so that others may enjoy the same thrill I just ecxperianced.
Did I answer you question Claire?
Now, that looks exactly like what I'd pull out. Actually, this reminds me of the thrill of catching something when I was girl!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Wow! What an answer but no you haven't! is it fun? (i am jesting!).
ReplyDeleteI think i would get bored, if i could do a hike and then come back and do the fishing?
Sorry if that ruined your zen moment!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Claire, I'm sure he'll be fine! And he promised to take me fishing this summer so that maybe I can learn some "Zen". I figure I'll be lucky if I can catch a weed!
ReplyDeleteI think its something you have to try before you can really appreciate it, with surroundings like that i think you probably could feel very zen like!
ReplyDeleteI may have you beat. While fishing with my father and brother in the GA Mountains, I caught a mattress spring in the Chattahoochee River. Haven't had much more luck with my father-in-law on the Indian River Lagoon in FL
ReplyDeleteStill looks like a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day, looks so relaxing. It is a pity I don't fish :)
ReplyDeleteNow there's a catch, lol. What a beautiful place to fish.
ReplyDeleteThat's true for fishing you have to be wordless, otherwise there would be no fish anymore. But the above comment about being zen while fishing, I don't understand, you can be zen by starring in the water without killing a poor fish !
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy picture
ReplyDeleteFishes ahoy!
ReplyDeleteJo, that IS a big one. Lol.
ReplyDeleteNever been fishing...poor me
ReplyDeleteWeed or not, that makes me want to go fishing. I am SO ready for spring! Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteGattina - In Andrew's defense, he doesn't kill the fish - he gives them a kiss and releases them back into the water. I think the "kiss" thing is all part of it as I've seen them do it at tournaments also.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so peaceful there :) bliss, I think. Such a lovely picture for wordless wednesday.
ReplyDeleteOne of the first thing I learned as a young boy when fishing with my dad and grandpa, was to keep quiete. Thus, this is a great WW entry
ReplyDelete=^.^=
And yet he still looks so proud :)
ReplyDeleteWait until you hear about the one that got away!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty WW picture, not a good catch, but the view is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW :)
Vegetarian fishing??? Who knew??? LOL I just LOVE fishing! D :)
ReplyDeleteHA. Nice catch! LOL Been there, done that, caught that! Great share.
ReplyDeleteHope your busy day was survivable!
hey there... you are making me long for summer!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty scenery and what a large weed!!
ReplyDeletehappy ww :)
Ya!----and the BIGGEST got away. It was THAT BIG!!
ReplyDeleteYa know?---this is a neat photo. The area that he's fishing at is astoundingly beautiful. And I bet oh so peaceful!!
Today my W W blog is celebrating our kitty's 5th Gotcha Day (adoption) I explain the photos in the 1st comment entry
What is it about men and fishing I wonder. Looks like one happy chap, and a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday :)
Great pic! Makes me long for summer to get here quick!
ReplyDeleteAnd was that the prize catch for the day! LOL Im up!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, he looks very proud! Happy WW! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not tried fishing.. Probably i'll soon try it..
ReplyDeleteGreat pick for WW!
He looks really pleased!
ReplyDeleteNothing like getting some fresh air while out fishing. He looks like he's in his element.
ReplyDelete...and you should have seen the one that got away!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! What a great sense of humor!
Not yet - but now I want to =)
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm a true southern girl who has been raised in the country, I DO NOT FISH. That has got to be one of the more boring things anyone can ever do....
ReplyDeleteBut, the pic is funny.
The answer is up! Go take a look and see if you hit the jackpot!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
I hope you caught a big fish!
ReplyDelete*LOL* Great catch! Looks like most of mine.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late...been out of town on business. :)
Have a good weekend.
I'll be going fishing for the first time this summer. I think I'm looking forward to it. I'll like it better if there's no fish on my hook!
