I only keep what I'm in the mood to eat for supper. Snapper, redfish and Flounder are my Fav. ! Stripe Bass is to DIE for ! If I catch one of those, I'll clean all night....if I can eat them tomorrow (A Popeye's Wimpy take) !
Striped bass was a throw any fish when I was younge in the Chesapeake bay.
We used to Stripe bass fish off the rips on monomoy in Chatham back in the good old days. We caught so many, we would sell it to the fish pier in Chatham harbor, at least those we weren't going to eat. Stripe bass with butter and lawrey salt sprinkled on top, broiled, is to die for.
Best Cod was caught off the SS Pendalton wreck. Tautog fishing was great off that wreck too.
It was a long, long, long.....LONG......time ago though. I miss those days.
Posted one more "moonlight fisherman" … an amalgamation …
• The fisherman in silhouette … a guy a used to see a lake I fish in the Pocono Mountains. I have not seen him for years and I am ashamed to admit, and I regret, that for all the evenings we fished until sunset, I never knew his name, nor he, mine.
He's the same fisherman whose silhouette appears in the top image.
There's a lesson to be learned in that.
• The moon is a harvest moon I photographed one night years ago from my front lawn … here in Philly
• The tree silhouettes are from a ranch in Wyoming
• The duck silhouettes and the water are the lake at the Polynesian Resort in Walt Disney World
It makes me wonder what the hell an Ansel Adams would have done with Photoshop!

Someone answered that question:
"I learned the Zone System from Ansel Adams at one of the multiday workshops he used to give in Yosemite. Did he manipulate his prints? Yes he did. Very selective burning and dodging were his two biggest tools, but he also manipulated development times, temperatures and was very exact in the contrast grade of paper he would use.
Ansel Adams considered everything from determining exposure through to the final print as pretty much a single process with steps that built on each proceeding one and each step was a manipulation."
I gather from that response to the question asked about Ansel Adams and photoshopping that he might very well have taken advantage of it.
Some fish for sport, some for a time of meditation … others … for survival.
Excellent, just excellent.
I suspect that they are fishing for the rare ''moon fish'' also known as an Opah.
Where do you find a fish like that? It's pretty
Tropical waters. They are able to increase the heat in their hearts which lets them dive to incredible depths.
That is sometimes s useful technique for daters.
It may, in fact, be a PHASE they're going through.
Posted a second fishing image.
I !
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE !
FISHING !
I'll bring the beer.
I'll bring the pretzels!
Happy to see you here!
Fishing has got to be the best way to get mellow, and make friends. It's not how many fish you catch, it's how many times you can say......"CHEERS" !
For real !
The more fish you catch.....you still have to clean them.
I'm strictly Catch & Release … if we fish together until after sunset … I'll buy you dinner and drinks!
I'll release....... then.

That's what I do.
But, even if one eats fish in a restaurant.....someone didn't release it!

Can't disagree with that; I just don't have the heart to kill them myself.
Great images, not much of a Fisherman, don't care to eat them, just seems cruel to hook them for no reason.
I use barbless hooks … no edible bait … artificial lures/flies only … but I can't totally disagree.

Good night to NT friends old and new.
Great photo Mac, the photo is a complete story in itself.
