I speared me a 24" red last year, I thought it was the biggest damn snapper anyone on the boat had seen.



you are talking about fish, right? red snapper? or am I so scuba-deprived that I'm starting the read too much into things?

 

Who the hell cares? I mean, do you buy a car because of the engine size? I would think such things as POWER would be more important than displacement. And sometimes the numbers don't tell the story. You really have to "try on" a car before you know if its the one for you.



I remember many years ago, I test drove a Hyundai Sonata. "Biggest engine in its class" they said. It was a pathetic low-tech thumper of an engine and it made less horsepower than the 626 I ended up buying.



When it comes to engines, size doesn't matter. If it sings a pretty song when you stomp on it, and it "just feels right," then it is.

 

Red Fish also known as Red Drum, Red Bass, Spot tail, Spot tail bass.



In the Drum family but nicknamed Bass because they love to hit spoons & repalas around grassy area's (when the tide is high).







Very tasty. I may blacken him tonight.

[ ]ahhh...I haven't been fishing for those (and trout) in quite some time...mostly grouper

Ah, Red Drum. We caught a couple of those last summer out of Biloxi. Are you on the gulf coast?

 

ahhaa, how did this become a fish discussion?



Well, I bought my 7 cuz it was a rotary... I didn't care how big it was, but because as I started to learn more and more about it, it just felt right...



********* off topic *************

So who wants to go fishing?

 

Nope I'm up & over in Jacksonville. Lots of creeks that harvest some thick schools of Reds every now & then. This year the waters been really cold keeping the reds pretty sparce but the Flounder & Trout have been the hot catch. Unusually high #'s of sharks this year!



Last year my friend pulled a little 5" Nassau Grouper up out of Simpsons creek. Last thing I expected to see...



Anyhow, Now that I've killed the almighty rotary displacment thread.

 

Its called "Public Service" Nicely done!

 

I don't like hats!

 

I saw a manatee last night. Oh, I also bought a new hat. It's brown & says "Guinness" on the front.
