PICTURE of YOURSELF THREAD

[ScoobyDoobyDoo]

The white river is in Arkansas - family there & I visit when I can. I'm usually fish as much as possible, but flyrod action in blue water here is rare to say the least.
At one time I owned the IGFA 4lb tippet record (Flyrod) for Pacific Halibut - and am thinking of giving it a go again. I've got a nice 13wt 9' / Fin nor outfit that will do nicely.
Went out today with nothing much to show other than a big smile & a buzz, but its early yet.

that's fantastic man. there are a couple guys down here who fish for light tackle records on snook, jacks, etc... we have a billfish fly tournament every year. i've never fished it though. they get about 30 or so boats. it's one of the smaller tournaments. i fish all 3 world billfish series tournaments here every year. come pretty close to taking the wbs pacific rim title a few times. we've won a few of the mid range tourneys but none of the big ones yet. figure i've got another 25 years though. bound to get one eventually.

i grew up fly fishing in the rivers around the tri state area. mostly brookies and rainbows. few browns. couple real nice fish. don't get to do it as much anymore. still get out a few times a year when i'm back in the states but mostly i'm on my boats looking for billfish and tuna. almost feels weird now when i get the "light" tackle in my hands. lol.

You indeed live a charmed life my friend.
I've always loved trolling - did a bit myself years ago on the taxpayers dime.
Before catch & release of course.

The lighting may be a bit off in that older pic - she was a blue somewhere around 300. We didn't have a scale large enough & sorta guesstimated but I got that one near Desecheo island off of Puerto Rico.
The ship is a CG Medium endurance cutter (now decomissioned) & back then I was the Key west arm wrestling champ for my weight class (200 lb) among the various ships.
Good times & good friends.

sound like good times. i'd put her at 350lbs. you've been shorting yourself all these years...lol. blacks can't lower their dorsal fins like blues can. that's why i thought it was a black but now i see that guy is holding it down. you can also tell the difference by looking at the flap of skin covering the lower gills and the branchiostegals. blue marlins have a lot shorter skin. my bad. nice blue!

this is the extent of our flyfishing freshwater down here. they have these little hybrid species of trout. they don't get much bigger than a pound. seem to be a cross between a brookie and a rainbow. i can't remember the spanish word for them. we grab a few every now and then. i've got a sage 5w i bust out every once and a while. they're fun to catch for an hour or so. so easy cause no one goes for them. people here really don't like the taste of them. to me they taste just like a little brookie. we put 'em in the smoker for a few days. make jerky outta them. fantastic stuff.
