stargazer14 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I dont get to show these off so I figured you guys might appreciate them - AmberJack in Belize, and the rockfish(Striped Bass) is out in front of the cabin in the upper Chesapeake at the mouth of the Susquehanna river. I let her go.
Habanos2000 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Awesome! Why did you let the Striped Bass go? That would make an incredible mount!
stargazer14 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 my chart estimated the age of the fish at 18years - I just couldnt bring that to an end. Damn my soft heart.
Colt45 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Great pics! Hats off for keeping a healthy breeder in the gene pool.
CIGARHead Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Great pics! As for mounting, most now just take the weight, measurements and pictures and have a fiberglass mount done. Not only does it withstand the elements (it doesnt deteriorate), it allows the preservation of the species.
CIGARHead Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I like to eat fish. I'll be sure and pack up some fish with some cigars in our next trade. I'll be sure to send it 5-7 day mail so it's fresh.
El Presidente Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 my chart estimated the age of the fish at 18years - I just couldnt bring that to an end. Damn my soft heart. Well done mate. I am all for catch and release of the trophy fish.
Don Candido Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I'll be sure and pack up some fish with some cigars in our next trade. I'll be sure to send it 5-7 day mail so it's fresh. The 5-7 day thing - Are you trying to jab me for lagging getting a box out to you? I was really going to try tomorrow, but now that I saw this...
Miami101 Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 That is great to hear you release the fish. As you can see from my other posting here I almost always release about 98% of the fish I catch. A fish that size can produce a large amount of off spring. We need to keep letting them go to try to help correct the past, and make sure our kid's can also fish the land. Once again thank you for the release..
Rogers72 Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Star, Where were you in Belize? I stayed at a nice resort near Hopkins Belize a few years ago and did the same type of fishing on the same type of boat it appears. Beautiful country.
stargazer14 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Posted December 30, 2008 I stayed for a week on Ambergris Caye, just on the edge of San Pedro in the worlds best hotel - The Blue Tang. If you ever go there that place is by far the best.
OLS Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 We need to keep letting them go to try to help correct the past, and make sure our kid's can also fish the land. YUP, cause you know how good the fishin' is on LAND!
Ken Gargett Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 really difficult to get any perspective on this. any other shots?
FlyFishingDude Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Nice Sail. It's cool when they start getting pissed off and the colors start flashing.
stargazer14 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Hmmm, I'm headed to Charleston in June, I should look into some fishing...
Tel RNB Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Hmmm, I'm headed to Charleston in June, I should look into some fishing... Give me a call, we got 11 dolphin and two Sails Sat.
Tel RNB Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Nephews first Sail, he's thirteen. The ugly bloke on the right is my brother. I'm the good looking lad on the left.
