WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER a great san diego photo that says it all. anybody can catch a tuna summer 2014 if these guys can. probably zonies based on their socks and fresh white tackle shop T's......... some season 2014....and might get better if the bigeye show up. anyway i can't look at any more pics....got this smokepole 3B tag to work on some.... go fishin' boys n girls this could last through november. lee

courtesy 'payson roundup' newpaper all politics is local. and nasty........ At 11:43 a.m. on a Friday, a woman entered with a large bag and placed something on the shelf where the odor was found. At first, Maack didn’t know who the woman was. Someone later identified her as Schwalm. Maack realized Schwalm had placed the box just after her husband Sam Schwalm lost election to the Pine Strawberry Water Im­provement District board. Maack had been a vocal critic of Sam Schwalm’s role in the contentious politics of the water board. “We just couldn’t believe it,” Maack said. “We thought she was like an upstanding citizen.” The Gila County Sheriff’s Office investigated and turned the information over to the Gila County Attorney’s Office.

good report from this morning: http://www.976-tuna.com/e107_plugins/landing/audio.php?btrack.174.1410390892

http://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/ship-from-lost-franklin-expedition-found-in-arctic sir john franklin-the idiot who 'ate his own boots' to survive on his first arctic expedition and got himself and 128 officers and crew killed on his second trip to canada-has had one of his last commands found after 170 years. either hms erebus or hms terror are now part of electronic history-but found due to inuit oral history. hey amanda-you thinks they might find some old hooch like shackleton left behind down south? lee

that skipper is scott mcdaniels. he was owner/operator of the f/v grande85 in 1989 when i caught my first bluefin on her-a jackpot fish-25 years ago!.

i do believe this rifle is built on a commercial mauser model 98 action mfg in the 1950's for the american market-wards, sears, western auto, fed mart and others. the same action as or similar to the first weatherbys. this is a jewel you can build on and definitely not a toad. i will email to my son as i am not able to make a purchase at this time. better pic maybe? grandfather killed a bunch of deer up around skull valley in the 50's 'n 60's with the montgomery wards version of this rifle. good luck, lee

this one's stolen from cramerhunts but is also in contention. luv those 'zonie deckboots and capri's.......

i can say this is a photo i have never NEVER seen before in any form. a 20 lb yft outa the water after a hula popper. wadday'alls think? el nino baby......

on the go day and night since archery season opened. any luck? lee

now there's another ford i could love. would fit into the driveway quite nicely with my '87 f-250 460cid that starts squirting a stream of gas out of the fuel pump weaphole every two years. as in every two years since 1989. what a pair....who'da thunk it.... lee

now sober-or more sober anyway-i see this can't be the winning photograph for tuna season '14. no smiles, no blue sky, no offshore blue water, the tuna is long dead. i suppose i should delete it. gratuitous bloody deck images have a limit. lee

yea heat. you can have the skippy-coastwise known as 'good eatin'-and i'll take the yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin, albacore, yellowtail and dorado that you don't want......sashimi'd, ceviche'd, sear'd, grill'd or kabob'd. good trip and a serious boat. looks well taken care of. who's the owner/skipper? lee

listen to this on-the-water call. listen all the way through and hear some indication of how incredible even us old salts think this bite is. if you can get on a boat and want to get schooled by some tropical addictions this is the time..... http://www.976-tuna.com/e107_plugins/landing/audio.php?btrack.174.1408134163 luck. lee

while i can't make it to the coast this year......this is almost as good. addicting and time consuming but what else is retirement for..... anyway-this weeks uploads to youtube of san diego offshore action. some great gopro footage and some terrible music.... https://www.youtube.com/results?filters=week&lclk=week&search_query=san+diego+tuna lee
