[Uncle Russ]

Thought I would demonstrate to you young folks why you should try to find the fountain of youth so no fish will ever put a hurt on you, regardless of size. The first picture is me just before getting aboard the Tuna Loco. The second is what poor old Uncle Russ looked like after a decent, though not large, yellowfin got through with his pathetic old butt. (It really is amazing what a hard night of fishing will do to a man.) The third was a pretty good day and night's work. Captain Eddie and my ship mates deserve some very small amount of credit, but mostly it was me.

Way to go Russ.... Those tuna will put a hurtin on you if you arent careful.
Looks like yall did good!

 

[Uncle Russ]

Yeah, but it was rough. I never could get the red color back in my shirt.

Nice fish on the board....
I think you're right....they put a hurt on you regardless of size....and....I think they put a hurt on you regardless of age. As I creep into becoming an old fart...I try to remember that the YFT put a hurt on everyone.

That "after" picture reminds of a Zeppelin song, "been dazed and confused for so long it's not true"LOL

Jeez, you really like to see folks suffer out there in the deep blue, don't you, Snagged!

You were certainly a nice looking young man before the Tuna took their toll. Though I do notice that you're sitting by the gas pump while the rest of the crew loads the boat.

BTW, that was a great trip and I can't wait to get down there again.

He's younger than I am and deserves a 90# aj.
