Thats the last time I cast to a swimming moose!

I was giving my floating fly, an absolutely free float,when the fish pulled me off of my feet,now I'm absolutely floating free, with my fish and a Royal Wulff fly.

we're gonna need a bigger tube.

Last photograph of cryptozoologist Dr. Stanley McGrath Loch Ness, Scotland, circa 2005. R.I.P.

And todays top story " A massive recall for the 2009 Float-o-matic float tube is underway after several incidents of the float comming alive and devouring the person seated in it. Warning this photo containes graphic images of the last moments of fred fredrickson as he was devoured by his float tube while attempting to land an undersized pike"

I guess Tahoe Tessie decided to give the local fishermen water skiing lessons...

What I posted on Red Gold Trailer

As a Military retiree, I’ve been blessed to go to places on Earth no one has ever gone unless you just happen to live there. I had the pleasure to be stationed at Eielson AFB Alaska for 4 years and traveled to remote places. Gone to many places by boat, ATV and to look down on the many splendors looking out the boom operator’s window of a KC135 Tanker and to see a panoramic view of Moose and thousands of Caribou from high above. I know Alaskans welcome oil and gas exploration and I to approve of it also. But open strip mining, looking at the open pit copper mines south of Tucson Arizona and the water and debris that must be pumped and hauled out must go some place. Strip mining in Alaska HELL NO! I would defend that precious gem! Of all the other places especially in the Lower 48 where strip mining can be managed properly would be a viable option. But in Alaska? NO WAY! The water shed is way too fragile! And why is this an international effort? GET YOUR GRUBY HANDS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!

For a strip mine to move in, it would be like raping and pillaging a Village. A Village, where everyone knew everyone and helped one another in the worst of times. The riffraff moves in destroying Village values and the way of life passed down thru generations only to be lost to global glut and greed for another’s mineral rather than their own keeping their land intact and pristine for their generations to come. Twenty years would go by, the Villagers who once lived there are gone and so is the Village. Drugs and alcohol has replaced decades of traditions of gatherings and festivals. So gone the American Indian, so gone the Village

Combining a float tube and lazy boy seemed like a good idea at the time, but we may have to go back to the drawing board... or just have another beer.

A prime example of ,almost, too drunk to fish.

I really hate it when they make a run for the waterfaaaall!!!!!!!!!!

i hope this fish has enough energy to pull me back to camp.

And away we go!

Hey Johnny! that der is a biggun' you need the net?????

Taking it on the reel.....

Natures form of public transportation.

It quickly went from fighting the fish to fighting the bear.

Redneck water-skiing.

Whew, the snell of my own rod nearly put me on my bass!

HOUSTON....we have lift-off

Bill immediately understood the feelings of Captain Ahab

"....to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

Man, that was some fart!

"Quit fooling around and get up and fix your line!.....the waters only knee deep"

When red necks run out of rope.

Bill's always been one for theatrics, but enough is enough, they're just perch!

RAPALA Lures, hold on to your flippers.

Al should'a listened when they said adult supervision was required.

Redneck Wake Boarding.

Up $@#! creek with no paddle but instead a rod.

Looking for a new thrill? Surf the wilderness lakes of Alaska!

Nice bear! Nice bear!

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO

Saddly he had only caught some fry that day, he needs to move to Hollywood.

Not going anywhere for a while? Grab a snikers

Here in the South, a pose like this is usually preceded by the phrase..."Hey ya'll...watch this!"

Some days you catch fish. Some days the fish catch you.

After not catching anything all day, he decided to hook up to a boat for a little tubin'.

Snake!!!!

...I knew those Jet-Skis would ruin this spot... Next time I'll aim for his head!!

Hit it bob

On this weeks episode of Ty Murrays Celebrity Bullriding, Ty demonstrates how proper form and technique can be applied to trout fishing.

Whoops.....shhii.....

Remember who pushed for the defeat of the Alaska Clean Water Initiative which could have saved the Bristol Bay headwaters fishery? Spring 2008 saw heroes and villains making their case, against or with Northern Dynasty, in making The Pebble Mine a reality at the expense of the "last wild salmon fishery"...well, I'll remind you all who, two days before the vote of August 26th it was, that's right, the Honorable (or is it horrible) Governor Sarah ("Caribou Barbie") Palin. Yes, listen up, anglers all...remember what happened and the money that changed hands in Alaska in 2008...remember THAT when she's running for national election along with some other GOP hopeful. I have been wearing my "Stop the Pebble Mine" button ever since Spring 2008. Where's yours?

Underestimating the hook set

Tom developed a whole new meaning to “Fly Fishing” after hooking the bush pilot's plane.

Yeeeeeeeeee Ha. Ride em' Cowboy!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH SWIM AWAY!!! President Obama is in the next pool downstream!!
