@Giles That’s great.  I wouldn’t have thought that you could combine Falconry and Fishing.

[Giles]

I actually had a Baracuda on the line at the time too

[Giles]

We caught this the same session, to this day, one of the prettiest fish I've caught….

[goosehd]

I’ll bite.  What is that?

[Giles]

Strawberry Grouper.

[goosehd]

My youngest’s first fish.  Made me proud that day!!

[goosehd]

I was thinking grouper family, but wasn’t sure.  Very pretty!

I also miss swimming the reefs and watching them.

@filthy  It’s Moby Dick…I think he was just a little excited.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I just watched that again and I am crying laughing

[Giles]

Get a lot of those off our coast here, the best is when gulls land on them when they are lying flat on the surface, and clean them….

me app. 1978-79  -  tee, denim and sneakers quite alright I'd say
(not so much the disrespectful-to-native-americans knee patches, sorry for that but the blame goes to my mum)

My great-great-great Grandfather (my mom's dad's grandfather) was Lenape/Delaware tribe and I don't think people intended any real cultural appropriation or any malice with Native American "Chief" imagery like that. At least people didn't realize it was cultural appropriation at the time. People liked stuff like that because there was a romanticization of the 'Old West'. And artwork like that looks really cool or powerful.

I think that picture is awesome @endo

Definitely not in sleepy West Germany in the 70s …
It wouldn't be good nowadays, but then I loved those jeans and the patches.

You couldn’t make that shit up if you tried. (THE FISH VIDEO)

I feel very lucky to have had some great experiences in my life for a simple bloke from Essex, UK. Through hardcore punk I got to meet and hang with some truly inspirational legends. I sold merch for H20 on a US East Coast tour and Dutch Tour, and was in bands myself. Getting to hang out with the likes of Toby Morse, Norm Arenas, and Ray Cappo. These pics are about 25 years old now… Gulp
