Here's one. It's got a big head and skinny tube body.

I know you don't like it when they are held out at arm's length, Molly, so here you go.

Here is another one that I showed my 4th grade class. One kid goes,"Does you wife know you took her shirt?"

@ lundo

I love that perspective fish pic. As far as extending the arms, I'm suspecting that it might be my failing. I can't get a sense of size when people shove the fish at the lens, but maybe others can. I see threads where the fish are shoved at the camera and I want to say, "NICE FISH," but I can't because I don't know if it's a nice fish. You could tape a tadpole to the front of a camera and it's going to look huge, but again, maybe it's just me. Maybe most fishers can still see that it's big.

I like the shirt. It takes a big man to be relaxed about his masculinity. So many men conform, wearing the same britches and shirts and even the same facial hair, and that's boring. Have fun!

Sometimes it's a good idea to hold the fish away from your body.

Hold that thought....fish on!

Just came across this picture the other day....can't believe I'm going to publicly embarrass myself by posting it. It's one of the first fish ever caught when fishing with my Dad and remember that I was SO proud of it! It's a lousy bullhead but I insisted on keeping it. The fish isn't so funny, but I'd have to say I sure fit the part :-)

You betcha. Ever seen WALL-E, the movie, where everyone changes the color of their clothes at the same time? That's us. We're sheep. Even the sheep who've seemingly wandered away just wander off to a different flock, all wearing the same shoes, shirts, and britches. It truly does take courage to wear a shirt that's not approved by the flock.

@ spottedowl

Great pic! I tried to load something similar, but couldn't for reasons I don't understand, but your pic is better than mine. It's it AMAZING when a smallmouth hits a lure bigger than it? I have a friend who caught a 24-inch walleye with a 19-inch pike in it.

This was the money fish. First fish in the boat recieved $20 bucks. I'd smile too!

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Look REAL close at who is actually holding the fish.

I'd forgotten how pretty those pumpkinseeds are. They're as pretty as tropical fish.

Neat looking sunfish, I think it may not be a pure Pumpkinseed. The mouth is too large, body too elongated, and the colors are a bit off. Half Pumpkinseed for sure. Could be a Green X Pumpkinseed, might even have some Orangespotted Sunfish in it - off course that would all depend upon where you caught it.

I once caught a 48-inch sturgeon on four pound test just below a dam. I was fishing for crappies and it took 1.5 hours to land that fish. The Sun set, but the battle kept going.

I have yet to catch an actually large Lake Sturgeon, those things are ridiculous about their ability to keep on going. Their physiology allows them to handle long fights and huge (rapid) depth changes that would kill many other fish. Just plan cool fish all the way around. Being back in the midwest (to stay), I'm putting in some serious time this fall in MN/WI once Lake Sturgeon season rolls around, gotta try and C&R a monster.

That little guy I caught was a Shovelnose Sturgeon - a pretty averaged sized one, anything in the low- to mid- 30"s is a big Shovelnose. A true river fish, found in fast water. Hard as heck to hold on to, lots of thrashing and scutes are extremely sharp on all but the fairly old Shovelnose.

It sure wore me out and I hope one wears you out real soon!

Fishing for species that are hard to grab produces some great bloopers, even more if you fish solo like I often do...

A feisty baby carp

And my first Longnose Gar (pic isn't that bad but my face shows how hard I was trying to hold it... still got sliced up a little.
