Robert
D checks in with some toothy critters
 
On the left,
Robert D. and his father (also Robert) show off a pair of Tiger
fish caught in the Zambezi River. Dad's is 9.5 lbs, Robert Jr's
is 13 lbs. Note the tail part missing from Robert Jr's fish
- Tiger Fish are a favorite food of the Nile Crocodiles that
live in the River! They may look like striped bass from a distance,
but these fish can take a pretty good chunk out of you if you
aren't careful!

Jim S. thought
he'd try dragging a line or two behind the boat as they sailed
from SF to Hawaii - here's a few of his photos from the trip:
"I'm
not sure if you remember me, but I came into the San Rafael
store, late June. I sailed to Hawaii from SF 7/3/02 on a 36'
sailboat. You set me up with topwater gear that we used while
dragging a line across the Pacific, also had a rod/reel. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! We ate VERY well thanks to you!!!! and our
cook. We caught 6 Albacore, largest about 40lbs and at least
10 MahiMahi. We hooked into "Something" in the Molakai Channel,
fought it over an hour while still cruising at 6-8 knots. We
never saw it, but it sure was BIG. It would take off on runs,
while we were still doing 6 knots. Locals think it might have
been an Ono."

of Colorado.

Ok, at
this point, most of the other folks who work in the shop are
getting jealous - Mike S. from our Santa Rosa store shows
us the scenery he had to put up with in Christmas Island...
Not to
mention those pesky bonefish...Good job Mike!

Carlo prepares to take airm for some tarpon during a recent
trip to Florida.
Although
he didn't turn up any of the monsters, he did find a little
wriggling friend in the underbrush -
Yep, for
those of you with keen eyes, that is a genuine Florida Cotton
Mouth - also known as a Water Moccasin - Note: do NOT try this
yourself!
