Pics you might get a kick out of...

[troutdog]

I recently purchased a Brother scanner/fax/copier and I highly recommend the unit to anyone in the market for one. Having been the guy who always seemed to have a camera in hand I have had a field day with my friends scanning and posting them on a couple of social networking sites.

Well I thought I would post a few pics from back in the day of me, as well as a few more recent ones taken with a standard camera that just might elicit a laugh or two...some of these pics actually prove I had hair once upon a time and I could have lived up to the nickname "slim" :LOL: With that said I know I give a lot of my friends on FNN some good razzing and I wanted to make sure they knew I can not only dish it, but can take it as well.....if you can't laugh at yourself don't laugh at others! :Wink:

Okay might as well get this out of the way first! :LOL:

I believe I was 15 and this was my first ever albie, cool OP shirt eh!

Nice photos . Even nicer fish.:Cool:


Thanks for posting.

[BIG*GAME*HUNTER]

thats some cool highlights TD, GOODTIMES still got a lot of line in your reel to go, till its over bro.

[ghetto dad]

:Evil:There goes any future jokes about you not knowing how to fish the salt....:ROFL:
Nice TD, really nice....that dude with the mullet is classic......

GD

[cappo]

all this time I thought you were just a truck trout guy :Embarrassed: JK.
Really nice fish man.

[chris]

That's a nice collection of fish pictures.

[tacklejunkie]

Very nice dude!
Where's the pic of the marlin!?
Nice Silver Salmon!

[VineAssist]

WOW Erin actually can catch fish and had hair who would have thought...And sportin the Dodgers bandana sick man.... its all good buddy

[hughpam]

That one with the salmon looks like you have to pee.

Good memories!!

[troutdog]

damn bro you are quite the accomplished angler, catching all those fish must had made you loose your hair,lol just jking much love foolio

"this ain't my first rodeo bro" :LOL: Yeah pulling on big fish will yank the hair right off your head, now we gotta figure out an excuse for you! :Wink::ROFL:


Dang Bro, You really did have hair once upon a time.:Wink:

Thanks for posting.

What is a thread without a response from TM65, thanks buddy! :Wink:

Thanks BGH, I like that phrase I highlighted at the end of your post, very cool. :Thumbs Up:


:Evil:There goes any future jokes about you not knowing how to fish the salt....:ROFL:

I have done my share of time on the salt, I need to get back into it more...but damn it sure has turned into a rich man's sport. $50-$60 bucks used to cover you for a 3/4 day trip including galley, tip and fish cleaning! I guess the days of $20 half days and $15 re-rides on the Lenbrooke/Aquarius are over....

Yeah my boy Dodger Doggy has long since ditched the mullet, but yeah "classic" would be a great way to describe him no doubt! Don't kid yourself you could still earn that title yourself! :LOL:


all this time I thought you were just a truck trout guy :Embarrassed: JK.
Really nice fish man.

Thanks cappo...although the majority of my trips are chasing the trout I still got some salt left in my veins, we'll fish together sometime I'm sure of it!


That's a nice collection of fish pictures.

Thanks Chris. I have quite a few more I might post up, but I didn't want to bore you guys with vintage fish porn :Wink:


Very nice dude!
Where's the pic of the marlin!?
Nice Silver Salmon!

Much appreciated TJ, always fun to walk down memory lane going through old pictures. As far as the marlin I wish I at least had a picture of the fish along side the boat, but we did the tag and release thing and I missed the photo opp...I think they estimated around 135lbs or so. Those things are fun, but I would rather yank on a tuna myself.


WOW Erin actually can catch fish and had hair who would have thought...And sportin the Dodgers bandana sick man.... its all good buddy

Pretty shocking stuff eh Jimmy, nice job noting the Dodger bandana...when you hand me my money at the end of the season for the Dodgers having a better record than the halos I think you should have to wear it! :Wink:


That one with the salmon looks like you have to pee.

Good memories!!

Yeah I figured that goofy picture was going to get a comment or two :LOL:

Thanks for the response hughpam.

awesome photos, this will remind me to always bring a camera. Something about documenting all the fish you caught is something that belongs in your history. Awesome.

[BIGRED KILLA]

Those are some cool pic i like looking at old school pics my Dad has a lot of them to old fishing photos rock. Looks like you still have that same smile when you got the Silver salmon off of ventura. looks like that marlin setup is a little over kill maybe for jaws it is not lol. keep it up thanks for the post



Bigred

[MAN VS WILD]

Those pics are classic man. You pretty much done it all fishing wise. I like the Daniel LaRusso "Karate Kid" hairdue in one of those pics, funny *** s*%$. I like how you have been representing the right teams since back in the day (LA Dodgers/ USC Trojans). Good post brutha.

FISH ON!!!

[Liteliner]

Nice pics man. You been all over the place man. That halibut is :EyePop:. I cant wait to get me one of those barn doors.... Thanks for sharing.

[Fisherman57]

Great post Aaron and even better pics!

I'll have to scan a couple when I get time...... years ago I caught a small Silver Salmon onboard the Speed Twin back when it was based in Paradise Cove......... them were the days.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Daruis, I try to bring a camera whenever I hit the water...I recall forgetting it one trip out of Malibu and I caught a 26lb halibut and all I have are pics of the fillets because I wanted the crew to fillet it correctly. Someone took a pic and I gave them my info, but they never mailed it to me...oh well! Just a reminder like you said to bring the camera from now on. I appreciate the kudos, thanks again!

Bigred

"Old school pics" are always fun to look at because you can look back and say "oh yeah I remember that....". That big ol setup was a friend's of mine and considering he caught a 500lb blue the year before on it he considered it a must have on all his baja trips. Thanks for the feedback Red!

FISH ON!!!

Yeah I was definitely going for the Karate Kid look considering we are both from Reseda! I have a few more destinations on my list to check off, but I have been very lucky to have fished the places I have thus far. Thanks for the props buddy.


Nice pics man. You been all over the place man. That halibut is :EyePop:. I cant wait to get me one of those barn doors.... Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Peter, I'll look forward to reading your barndoor report sometime soon!

I used to love fishing the Speed Twin back in the day, I think it runs out of Cisco's now if I recall correctly....good times! Get that scanner going Dana, I'll be looking forward to those pics.

[olfishergal]

Really great pics TD..........Enjoy your memory lane pics, what fun. All the pics I had got destroyed in my house fire years ago. I still have the images in my brain. BTW, Speedtwin runs out of Capt Hooks, still a fun boat to go on. Great boat to do a T57 salt trip on. You can charter for a 5-5 for a descent price. C U Soon, miss fishing with you. OFG

Thanks Chris, I always enjoy looking through my countless pics I have taken over the years. I am really sorry to hear about your house fire, I feel your pain...given the chance my pics would be the first thing I would grab in the event of a fire, aside from Lil TD of course! Maybe a Team57 day on the Speedtwin is in order sometime soon...I miss fishing with you too! See you soon I'm sure OFG.

I remember you talking about that awhile back, it made me think that conversation when I stumbled on that picture...that was an epic day of fishing with limits for myself and Dodger Doggy, followed by breaking off a 30+lb cat the next morning. Isabella is an amazing fishery, glad you enjoyed the pic.

Well said Trolly, variety is the key indeed...thanks for the reply buddy.

Yeah I kinda figured you would enjoy that, I give you carp all the time and just wanted to let you know I can take the ribbing as well. Personally I would love to see pictures of you over the years with all your bluegill conquests! :Wink:


I had no idea you were such a hot stick in your younger years. :Cool:

Yeah and I think I was a pretty decent fisherman at the time too :Wink::LOL:

Great memories...thanks for the props NM!

Thanks for sharing Aaron.

I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunities I've had in life thus far, my parents were very supportive of my hobby while growing up...I think it helped me keep out of trouble! Thanks for the thumbs up, see you next weekend Terry.


Damm! You are the dog. I'am talkin about you!:EyePop:

:LOL: Thanks old pudd fisher....you know I still have yet to fish the Pudd, I need to put that one on the list for the remainder of 2009.

Ryan I that halibut kicked my arse no doubt about it, we were not fishing for that grade of fish...the better models we caught that day were 30-50lbs when that beast inhaled my bait! :Cool:
