methinks you're being pseudo-bashful mister![]()
No worries...It could easily have been me misreading itI'm super tired.
My BIL fishes for Salmon and Herring. My husband is retired from fishing you could say....he done broke himself up there....too much damage to the back...smooshed between crab pots, getting tossed overboard by an errant pot among other fun adventures. Ended up with surgery fusing part of his spine....no more fishing. Its sad....just a couple of years ago, he felt the pull and nearly got on a plane to Dutch. He loved it...and misses it dearly. I actually wanted him to go have one last run....wish he could have. We watch DC and its always funny how he knows some of the guys, went to school with a couple of them in Anacortes, WA. I just cringe....that is not en environment I would do well in. I leave it to you crazy dudes.![]()
And that is something I understand.He is lucky to have made it back after going overboard! I came close twice in January, once while breaking ice on the bow while going full steam. Took a 40 foot and got washed across the deck and into the starboard rail. The next time I ran down the tunnel to gaff a fish and everything was solid ice. Leaned over the rail and started sliding over the rail. Not sure how I stayed on board.
I have tried a couple times to walk away including this year but as soon as the boat is getting ready to leave Seattle, the itch kicks in. I will probably go back up in October. I miss it and I miss my brothers.
Longlining for Pacific Cod.
Glad you like the avvie. This past winter especially was harsh. We spent a lot of time breaking ice. Not fun.
My daughter took this a few years ago right after I received my first iPhone. She said she was trying to create the most unflattering photo possible...

As it turns out, this is far and away my most flattering photo...
