Ugh ! Been Sooo Busy ...


Caught him yesterday evening on a small pole with a tiny lure ~ who's your fisherman, baby?

Can I get a "Ohhh yeah!" ?

You can also get an idea how excited I was by this if you'd like to see the very short video clip below:


We had houseguests last week and everyone had a great time ... I'll be starting my blogging rounds again after today's local company leaves.

Today, I'll be showing a little toddler boy from Kansas just what hungry painted turtles look like when you're standing on a dock holding a piece of orange cheese. These are the types of lessons all small children should learn.

Have a fun day and thanks for looking in!

Egad, I should have mentioned ... we do catch and release only.I'm not sure if I do it more out of a concern for the fishies or purely so that I might re-catch the bugger next year! :)

Woooo Hooooo !!!!!!

That must have fely great.
I fish and catching a bass is one hell of a fight and you caught a very nice one there.

I catch and release to unless I go trout fishing and even then we let the big ones go to keep spawn and bring home the two three pounders.

Walker I know what you mean about the trout. I too have caught and captured trout, but that was when my mom was alive and she enjoyed cleaning and cooking them. Now? Times they are a changin' ... :)

Hey, I've missed you, but I see your time is well spent. I have to confess that I don't care to fish, but I do appreciate the thrill of the catch. Good job there!

BARB ~ great to hear from you. Yes, apparently, inconsistency has become my middle name. I'm like New England weather ... when you're pretty sure you've got the Hag's pattern down pat - wait a minute! It'll change like magic.

KENJU ~ Judy ... we don't eat them but I'm sure he would have been a hearty meal indeed!

TAMMI ~ You know ... years ago you and I connected somehow (maybe through Wally or through June) and we did a great job of staying in touch until I dropped the ball and became the world's worst blogger. Will try to do better this time around. Welcome back!

Congratulations! That's a beauty.
I love to eat them. But I wouldn't clean one no matter what you paid me. Guess I'll have to stick to store-
bought.

Hubby just got back from a week long trip to Andros Island with my son to fish and I don't think he caught even one fish as big as your bass!!

Release? That's such a beauty, I'm afraid I would have had some bassushi right there in the boat!

Nice work, I'll have to start calling you Captain Ahab.

Is this your "Gone Fishing" post? I can bet what you and your guests had for supper!

Blogger Weary Hag said...

BOBBIE ~ Nah... I wouldn't clean them or cook them ... there's just too much good food out there in the supermarkets to stoop to this level (in my humble opinion).

Blogger Weary Hag said...

TABOR ~ Yay! I shall now be able to tell people that the fishing in our little pond is sometimes better than that at Andros Island! :)

WICKED H ~ Don't you dare go giving me ideas! haha

DAVE MORRIS ~ haha "Bassushi" ... hey wait! Is that a real word or a Morrisism?

COLLEEN ~ laughing over here. Yeah, I guess this IS my Gone Fishing post. Darn. Now I can't make another one this summer. :(
We didn't eat this fellah ... we gave him a kiss and sent him off to grow bigger for next season.

It was good to see you on my blog this morning! I'm with you --- I love wood, all kinds. I used to have just oak in the house, now anything goes. When the little tornado uprooted some walnut trees we salvaged some chunks. After aging for a year I want to make something beautiful with them.

Oh, and the bear? Tastes like chicken --- hee hee haw!

Have a fabulous 4th!

Hello Hag that is a bit weary.

I am home for good now. My wife is now a nurse, and I am currently a lazy bum. Hope all is well.

And you threw the fish back, right? Right? Don't mind me. Just a Pisces. And I believe you read the Fish Hook Sage, right? I think all kids need to experience nature. Just not with me!
