One winter morning while Chicago was freezing cold, she was at sunny Clearwater Florida for a fishing adventure that was planned and paid for by Howard D' Tiny. Here are some photos of her escapade.
Before 8:00 Jo Ann of Ark is at the Clearwater
dock waiting for the call to board
the "ark" is a double-hulled boat named
"double eagle II."
the fishing expedition included Asset D' Cuddly,
Hardin D' Londong, Howard D' Tiny and Noah D'Shy guy.
Inside the ark while it speeds toward
some deep waters about 45 minutes from
Clearwater beach.
the fishing commences with a
show by some sleek dolphins.
The missus trying hard to successfully
reel in a heavy line...
...which turns out to be a grouper...
..."sorry" says Kevin D' deckhand, but
it's short of the required legal size...
...so Jo Ann of ark has one last pose
before mr. Lapulapu (filipino name for
the grouper species) is heaved back into
the sea...
...where some hungry pelicans make
lunch out of him.
this unlucky chap had no intention to bite
the bait, but stayed too near and got
hooked by the chin to the delight of
Mrs. Noah. And like his predecessors of
smaller-than-legal-size he was thrown back
into the sea to tell his kin about a gorgeous
dame he saw on board the alien ship.
in his mind Howard D' Tiny savors the tasty
meat of grilled trigger fish, but this was
not the right season for this species and
the lucky guy gets bailed out and back to
his mom in the depths.
These twins got hooked at the same
time and since they were legit size
they were held for eating. Sometimes
growing up too fast and too big has
its dangers.
with the ice chest filling up and
the time running out, the captain calls
it a day...
...and heads back to shore while the
fishermen brag about their catch.
is she thinking about the Titanic in this pose?

Kevin D' Skinhead really loved this
noisy bunch of Filipinos. He got a
hefty tip for his efforts to please them.
when you're in season and you're the
right size you end up...
...either fried or...

Meanwhile, the most compelling part of the adventure gets underway - photo-ops.

Amazed of their fishing the right size rule.
ReplyDeleteIf it's in the Philippines, you will be dubbed a fool when you let those fish back into the deep. 🤣🤣🐠
