Sailfish

Steelhead

Big Fish Bob Randall caught this 10 pound steelhead somewhere in Michigan. I will have to find out where.

MANGROVES and NURSE SHARKS

Jerry Leekey and his friend Bert did some spear fishing yesterday and caught these two snappers and one other before they were run off by a 5 foot nurse shark.
Bert had speared a snapper when a nurse shark charged him and grabbed on to the fish and started violently shaking it with the spear still attached. Bert grabbed for his knife but dropped it while trying to hold on to the spear. He then accidently knocked his regulator off and put the emergency regulator on ( I am not to sure of that wording because I don't know anything about dive gear and I got this story second hand from Jerry's mom Sue), anyway the shark left Bert and then attacked Jerry even though Jerry had no fish. Jerry poked the shark in the nose and it finally backed off. Bert and Jerry then called it a day.
Navy Seals 0
Nurse Shark 1
PS Bert didn't go back for his knife.

FROM THE PAST

About six years ago one of my favorite fishing holes was being terrorized by this Barracuda. Every time we would catch a Snapper this Barracuda would come out from under my boat and grab my fish sometimes when the fish was in mid air being lifted onto the boat. On one occasion he just missed jumping into the boat while Pat was pulling in a fish. After a few days of this I had enough so I called in the Barracuda Hunter, Captain Gus Ramirez from Bristol Court.
We set out to get him on a Friday morning and had him hooked right away but he fought for about twenty minutes when the line finally broke. We went back on Monday and hooked him again and after a thirty minute fight we got him to the boat.

Trout

My cousin Ray holds up one of the trout we caught today on a short trip to the backcountry.
