Fishy, Fishy

This is my room mate's bass from the days when you actually took the fish to the taxidermist - you can imagine how many years ago that was. Now, thank goodness, you can take a picture, measure your fish and release it back into the wild to be caught another day. The taxidermist today use molds and can make a fish that looks so real if you didn't know you would think it was the real thing.

If there is one thing my room mate misses mostly it is fishing. He is right handed and it was his right shoulder that had to be operated on so he can't even think of throwing a line. He had said once he could get a cane pole and hold it in his left hand but that idea went by the side. Once he gets well I am going to be ready to go fishing too. I just love getting out even if I don't catch anything. Until then we watch all the fishing shows on TV - which is what is on now.
