here, fishy - fishy - fishy

[Sparky Rowe]

ok, well if you don't know i like fishing. alot. been fishing since i was a wee boy w/ my dad. i still have my first fenwick pole and daiwa reel. so far i have only missed 4 days fishing this year. i have never been a hunter. my family wants me to get into it. they want me to get into duck and deer hunting. i'm not really a gun person. i'm more of a drive your truck down the lake type of guy.

i just need my poles.

and chair.

its nice here in the afternoon.

boo ya. who da fisherman.

a nice fat rainbow trout and a kokanee (rare). the kokanee jumped out of the water twice. man, it that doesn't get you excided.

see, pink meat (kokanee).

white meat (trout).

i got this.... from the water to the grill in less than 3 hours. can you say fresh fish.

lets fire up the 26" kettle.

oh my gosh. look how big those fish are. : oh, i'm using my instant gourmet on these babies.

everyone in the pool.

must have smokie, smokie. alder chips will do.

ahhhhh. happy, happy.

heh, whats that dog doing in the pic.

eyes are white and were at 145ish. good enough. look at the nice color.

i am sorry to say but these are the last pics of the fish. i took them in the house and served w/ white rice. my wife and daughter saved me some of the kokanee. they ate all the trout. it doesn't get any better than this. thanks for looking.

Right now in my neighborhood you can drive your truck onto the lake, and I like to hold my camera closer to the fish- it makes them look bigger! (LOL) Nice catch! I bet they tasted real good too!
