yay! Nothing hotter than an Australian accent.

Stijn!!
 

Sidney!!!!! D!!!!!! You guys have MIA! Where have you been? You missed Noah and Dave's money shot with the tilted skirt girls (and Noah, I am calling them that on purpose). :)

We have missed you!

Stijn!!
 

I agree with Janet. Aussie accent. Yum. Southern accent. Yummy. British accent. Mmmmmm... Any accent really.

Hah! Yup!

Wait
You've been pretty Mia too!

things are good. the trip to OK is on hold, however.

yep, MIA. sorting some things.

i still have a bit of my kentucky accent.... does that count. i also have a heaping helping of smartass. :)

Smartass trumps all in my book!

Well...It does look kinda sticky.

I've been here, not a ton, but I've seen the pics... ;)

Stijn!!
 

What? You getting too good for us? ;)

Never too busy for Stijners.... Just haven't been able to post much... Busy with work and play makes for a tired Sidney. :D

La la la la... Don't wanna know what sweet innocent Sid has been up to. Old married woman here, nothing interesting to see.

yep, at least 30. :D

Nothing nefarious going on here.... Just catching some big fish....

stripers are good eatin. quite possibly my favorite fish.

Stijn!!
 

Whoa! That fish is half your body, Sidney! I don't think I would be good at fishing. Good at cooking and eating fish.

We need to put together a Stijn trip. This guide was very good, $125 per person, and he pretty much guarantees you will catch limit plus have to throw back plenty. We could have limited out 2hrs in, but he wanted to make sure we had a nice long trip for our money. He cleaned them all while we ate lunch.

Dad is experimenting with smoking some of them.. We took our share, which was a ton of fish...

Smells like fish, but tastes like chicken!

here, at lake powell, there is no limit on the stripers.

Some guys from out your way, are trying to talk our guide into coming out and showing them all this method of catching Striper. Everyone says they don't get as fat out there as they do here. They need fished aggressively out there to thin them out, and then some conservation efforts...

Some of the Filets were nearly 2" thick off of those stripers...

catching stripers: find a 'boil', toss out anchovies with hooks. i think you can chum stripers, too, legally. catch the stripers. done.
