As he grows up, you must impress on him the folly of hunting large sharks in small boats.
Oh, I'll have no trouble with that.Quote:

Even a little 5 footer managed to chew the trasom off.
Later on in the day, a mako that looked about ten times bigger leapt out of the water right next to the boat. Ten seconds later, my brother's reel screamed off - he'd hooked about a 500 pounder.
Discretion/valour?
We cut the line.
There's a time and place to play with big sharks.
Jeez! I love fishing stories. What's a Mako? From your story, it doesn't sound like its short for mackeral.:lol:
Dead right!Quote:

It makes our little trout stream seem a little tame.
I've never been sea fishing, but one day, one day.
Well, if you ever manage to get down this end of the world, we have some of the best-available fishing spots and I can take you to them!Quote:

Well after a long day in the studio I finally finished my latest painting so its time to celebrate. Some good pizza, Duke Elligton cranked up real loud... and a slew of great beers: a Belgian abbey ale: Ommegang... quit nice... and kick-*** at nearly 9% alcohol by volume. After that the great German brew, Aventinus... areal spicy brew that has already numbed my tounge (and thank God for on-line spell check)... and I'll finish off with one of my absolute favorite beers... perhaps my absolute single favorite: Samuel Smith Imperial Stout. Damn! Duke just ended. Time for some true American bluegrass... perfect drinking music.http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/...09fd0e4c_o.gif
Oh to hell with blue grass... seven strong beers later and the only thing that'll do is the Stones' Let it Bleed... really LOUD!!!

I have another mako story as well. I was fishing on a charter launch, ready to kill anything when a huge mako (skipper's estimate 500lbs+) took the bait and the line sped off. I reeled the line in to find the bait fish - an 18-inch sea trout - cut clean in half behind the hook. Smart arse shark took the food and not the hook. Man, was I unhappy!
:lol:Quote:

An eighteen inch sea trout! Now in Scotland thats what we call impressive. Dont suppose you have got a picture of that? :D
Plenty of pics of them - here's one my daughter caught. Not 18", but a good size which we had for dinner that night.Quote:

No way Athiest, I have enough on my plate as it is, but thank you for the kind offer. I have been to hell and back with daughters. Just send me the trout. :lol::lol::lol::Quote:

There is no arguing with that logic Athiest, but at least it wont pop out of the package and demand instant cash and acceptance of the latest nutcase she is dating. We need to get back to the simple life, where, oh where is Prenderelmick when we need him most? :)Quote:

Nightshade, please tell me where I have messed up? It cant be on my intellectual comments, as far as I am aware I have yet to make one. Please tell me its not the toeshaving one on the girls thread, somebody told me to do it I think he was called Athiest, or was it Prederelmick. Oh, not the Ruskin one, I read it in the Ladybird book of art crticism. Please give me a break I am feeling fragile and unwanted. Love from unloved Jocky :)Quote:

I may be leading the simple life, but I have three of those "daughter" thingsQuote:

Have I got my girly beauty-speak wrong?
well Im not sure depneds what you are on about and dnevr had the dubious pleaur eof exfoliating ( unless you count the time my sister got 'revenge' by emptying half a tub of salt in muy bed- she was annoyed because it didnt bother me in the slightes truthfully I didnt even realise, except to think huh?but I havent been to the beach how did I get sand in my bed! :lol: )
Mind Id think that the wellies affect would be more like the affect of knee high cheapo thick nylon socks in 42 degrees + celsius (thats like 105 f I think) in that it kills off all the hair follicles and gives you a free fairly painless wax.... :D
Yeah, that's always a funny one. Six months in gumboots and your calves are like a girl's.Quote:

[QUOTE=The Atheist;756487]She knows you're Scots and was being polite.
;) See what you have done now Athiest, imagine starting an argument about tea. Honestly, you could create a row in an empty room. Do you prefer Typhoo or Earl Gray? :lol:
both are gross in my opinion. :sick:
Earl grey is ok nice even especially with cake, or when its ridiculously hot. ( though most people find iot disgusting that I like milk in mine sometimes) Typhoo is the pits, te stuff tasts like dirt! now Morrisons own organic fairtrade is NICE then again the co-op 99 tea is also quite nice. HUmm twinings is nice not fairtrade. Yorkshire tea is good but quite strong. Irish breakfast tea ( what was the brand you got me niamh?) is yummy. Masala tea has a nice kick to it. Most herabal teas are OK. lipton is muck. PG tips I can just about stand when I am desperate!
It was irish tea but it was a gold blend not a breakfast. :) although what is classed as Irish breakfast abroad is bog standard here. you want a really good Irish tea, go for a pryamid, gold blend reserve. Bewleys clipper and green label are also very nice.
