As the inset shows, this guy is into some serious angling.
Not only do I love to reel in the big ones, but I make it a habit to show my appreciation for each one allowing my hook to maim and disfigure their mouths for the sake of timeless shots like this one.
Joining me on the Buckroe Pier were my father-in-law, Curtis; Cousin (in-law), Sam; and my 11 yr. old, Seth. For our 3 hrs. of labor, we managed to snag 5 fish, total. Out of which, 1 barely reached the status of keeping for a future half-meal. But then, that wasn't the goal anyway. Just hanging out over the railing with the the setting-sun's wind in our faces was objective enough.
At least, it was for me...
