Any man would look proud after catching a large barracuda as he poses with the fish and his 14 year-old daughter at the marina afterwards. Then you may wonder why his daughter looks less than thrilled………!!!
14 year old Coral Wira was sitting in a boat while her father fished.
Suddenly she saw a silver flash in the air. The barracuda had thrown the hook and grabbed her arm. Father managed to kill the fish with a knife in the head.
Coral needed 51 stitches! And he felt the need to pose for photos before taking her to hospital!
It is impossible to grow weary of a sport that is never the same on any two days of the year. Theodore Gordon
In this video collection we follow the growth and development of 3 kittens. Carlos Pablo Newman Franco Sinatra, the white male kitten, Gringa, the brown tiger striped female, and Tia, the white, brown and grey calico female. This video illustrates the 3rd month after birth.
Fall ocean fishing is what many anglers live for, the time of year when boats run with less fishermen, the fishing often can be just as good, if not better, than the summer and the conditions usually are pleasant for a calm boat ride.
But this year, fishermen didn’t have much of a choice when it came to choosing to fish in the summer or waiting until the fall. There really wasn’t a summer season of note at the outer banks. Sport boats were fishing bass, rockfish and anything that would bite at a time when the decks would be filled with tuna, dorado and yellowtail.
But that changed last week as offshore fishing turned on. And it continued to build Friday when boats fishing as close as 20 miles off Mission Bay reported good scores on yellowfin tuna.
Capt. Mike Franchak on the Aztec reported in early with 90-plus mixed tuna. The Aztec was on the second day of a two-day run. But closer to home, Capt. Ryan Bostian radioed in 40-plus yellowfin from the morning of a three-quarter-day trip.
At H&M Landing, Capt. Frank Ursitti on the Ranger 85 reported over 60 mixed tuna, with 40 bluefin, 8 yellowfin and 15 albacore.
The Islander at Fisherman’s Landing reported 34 bluefin and a couple of yellowfin tuna on its first drift Friday morning.
The best fisherman I know try not to make the same mistakes over and over again; instead they strive to make new and interesting mistakes and to remember what they learned from them. John Gierach "Fly Fishing the High Country"
RARE AND HOT - JIMI HENDRIX - Devonshire Downs Newport Pop Festival. June 20-22, 1969 - This is the Sunday afternoon impromptu jam when Jimi showed up unexpectedly (6/22/69). The Jimi Hendrix Experience got paid a huge sum 2 days earlier, Friday night (6/20/69), which at the time was the largest sum ever paid to a rock act ($100-125K). Jimi was heckled by reported "racists" in the audience, got angry, played the set angry but still played a BLISTERING Red House & Hear My Train. Jimi returned 2 days later, because he felt bad about what happened Friday night...
The Gillbilly was there Friday night right under Jimi, center stage, it wasn't racism, it was that the crowd kept yelling out the hits from his first album to play, Jimi kept trying to get the crowd to lay back and groove, as he wanted to do... he pulled his patch cord and flipped off the entire crowd in a half pirouette totally pissed off as he left the Experience on stage... it was freaking CLASSIC!
This is the rare video footage taken when Jimi came back Sunday and jammed with Buddy Miles and some Mother Earth guys... that's the GillBilly there somewhere in the crowd... the Orange Sunshine was beaming that weekend!
The last Experience concert took place one week later on June 29, 1969 at Barry Fey's Denver Pop Festival, a three-day event held at Denver's Mile High Stadium that was marked by police firing tear gas into the audience as they played "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". The band escaped from the venue in the back of a rental truck which was partly crushed by fans trying to escape the tear gas. The next day, Noel Redding announced that he had quit the Experience.

"I've gone fishing thousands of times in my life, and I have never once felt unlucky or poorly paid for those hours on the water." William Tapply "A Fly-Fishing Life"
NOAA has released animation depicting how wide the oil spill may spread if the loop current in the Gulf of Mexico is in a typical configuration. It suggests the oil may spread up the Eastern Coast and well into the North Atlantic.
The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still able. Sparse Grey Hackle
We Heard the news today, oh boy... 30 1/2 years ago. Has it really been that long? The void is still so huge. We miss you profoundly John.
In these sad and ominous days of mad fortune chasing, every patriotic, thoughtful citizen, whether he fishes or not, should lament that we have not among our countrymen more fishermen. Grover Cleveland
