In one of my favorite spots, in one week I hooked the same fish twice. He is kind of a freak. He is only about 15" long, but has the head and girth of a 24" fish.

I am getting out occasionally but I had a mishap with my formerly waterproof camera on a vacation in Maui back in June. So I am in the process of deciding which camera to get to replace it. It's been a busy summer so that process has been taken a little longer than it should. Hopefully soon I will be back in business with a camera on these tripsBenjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697615395282460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234558447356434254.post-74042483707560950862011-07-21T11:29:24.845-06:002011-07-21T11:29:24.845-06:00Haven't seen any local photos from you in a lo...Haven't seen any local photos from you in a long time.
