"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

What's Better Than Watching Fishing Shows on TV?

Depends on who you ask.

If you ask me, I'd say:

Just about ANYTHING
You know, like:
Getting your teeth pulled.
Having surgery.
Shaving your legs.
Eating liver and onions.
Watching football.

But if you ask Ole, aka Fisherhubby
He'd say:

CATCHING a Lake Michigan King Salmon just like this!

Lori E said...: Ya, like Trisha said... and the fish is pretty big too. Lol.
Sorry after my last miss at the humor in the post I thought I had better step up my game.
So salmon in a lake? I'll have to ask my fisherman guy about that. Ours are all in the oceans I think.; September 21, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Debby@Just Breathe said...: What a wonderful catch! Way to go!; September 21, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Lynn said...: Does he ever look HAPPY!
I have to ask, though...
Does he ever wear his tiara and feather boa when he goes fishing?; September 21, 2009 at 8:15 PM
j said...: Fisher hubby is a pro!; September 21, 2009 at 8:32 PM
Cindy said...: Oh! Awesome! Did you get to eat that????
Packers lost yesterday. Sigh.; September 21, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Kristin - The Goat said...: I haven't watched a fishing show in years and years, but there used to be In-Fisherman on TV. I told the boys who used to watch it, that it should be called Inside-Fisherman because they couldn't catch any fish from inside the house LOL

It was hysterical back then LOL

What a great catch!!

nancygrayce said...: I'm with you! But that is a big fish!; September 21, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Brenda said...: Wow. I'm assuming, since I'd rather get a tooth pulled that watch fishing shows too, that this is a decent catch? (and judging by the huge smile he's sporting!); September 21, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Kim Sue said...: whatever makes him happy....fishing, nascar, football, golf, baseball, the other day it was an archery contest? that's why I've just moved to the computer!; September 22, 2009 at 6:23 AM
Tonja said...: How many times can you wait for a fish to strike at a lure and start pulling on the line before it gets to be boring? Well, for me...once was enough! All the fish do the same thing. They struggle with the hook in their mouth and then get pulled out of their watery home gasping and thrashing. Not a show I'd record on my DVR!!!; September 22, 2009 at 8:46 AM
kyooty said...: WOW! that's bigger thenany fish I've caught on FB yoville!; September 22, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Martin LaBar said...: To each his own (or her own).

Well done, GB.; September 23, 2009 at 5:45 AM
Keetha said...: I'm with you! I also don't get watching people play poker on TV!; September 23, 2009 at 7:38 AM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: Standing "O". Seriously.

Hugs, miss you. Hope you are good, friend; September 23, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Joni said...: Keetha,

I sent my husband on a charter trip to Lake Michigan this summer. They caught over 150 lbs of salmon!! If fisherhubby is ever interested, I would love to give you the name and number of the captain we used.
