Dead brain cells. . . No not from drinking; maybe from breathing alcohol fumes for all those years. I know you’re wondering, what? Don’t worry about it, it’s not important – printing, offset, ink & water balance – ph 5.0 and 15-20 percent alcohol; rollers spinning, alcohol evaporating, eight to ten hours a day 5-6 days a week twenty years, breathing in and out. Maybe a few brain cells were killed off – the point is this – dead brain cells.
That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it for not having a mid week post.
Sunday evening, I did catch a 4-5 lb. pink (humpy) salmon in the Snohomish River with my friend M in his pee wee sized Livingston 8 ft boat, which we over loaded by 65 lbs plus gear. I told him we couldn’t afford to catch to many fish or we would sink. That is why we kept it to one fish each. Did I just see an eyebrow or two raise? Hey in all my posts have you ever known me to make anything up, exaggerate or just flat out lie? Well…there you go. I am glad that’s settled.
The quality of a pink is, well, not all that great. They are bit slimy kind of like a brook trout and they smell a bit bad. So, I smoked my one fish and ate some of it for dinner tonight. The wife walked by while I was mixing a spread out of it. She goes, wooeee smells bad. She elected to forgo a tasty treat. As my mom use to say, ‘All the more for me.’
Fisherman, I know are nothing but liars so here is a picture just to keep things on the up an up.

I disappeared for a bit, but I am back! Just in case you may have missed me, HAHA!
That is one freaky looking fish, not that I know much about fish, but I am pretty sure that one is freaky looking! John caught a Coho last week, pretty proud of himself! It was pretty tasty too, I like Salmon, detest trout, yuck. There is a picture on my blog of John's fishy if you want to see, amongst all the girly stuff!

Looks like a blue fish to me!!! The body is missing - must be the alcohol it was swimming in.
enjoyable read.
Was that what was left after you ate the "good??"part?
You are a true fisherman.
Well great! Now I have coffee spewed all over my desk and laptop. What a funny post! Thanks for getting my day going with such humor. I must say, I think that is an U G L Y fish. Have a good day.
"So, I smoked my one fish..." <--- explains much. Just how do you keep it from soaking through the rolling papers?
Well that got my day off to a great start! Like Rose, I spewed coffee so now I have to clean up! I'm ready to get my day going now, too! And I do hope that guy tasted better than he looks! That is indeed one UGLY fish!!
Have a great weekend -- see if you can catch a better looking fish next time!

That's one strange looking fish, that I never came across.
The alcohol fumes should have brought back the dead cells to life not the other way around.
FLF...(funny looking fish) LOL!
honest grayquill ***cough cough*** of course i agree!!!
I don't want to be served anything but the fillet. Coming eye to eye with dinner isn't very appetizing to me. But, to each his own. I guess I'm too squeamish.
Michele: John sure did catch a nice one. As for my freaky looking fish – all I can say is it had to swim through Puget Sound to make it to the Snohomish who knows what toxins deformed it. And, of course I missed you.
Bill S: I notice humpy looked a little blue after I caught it but I am not a fish psychologist so knowing I would be no help to his sad state . . . I just killed him. Then it was just a dead fish.
Arkansas Patti: Are you saying Mr. Humpy looks a little off? Hmm… maybe I shouldn’t of eaten it. Fish stories are for sure a part of the whole fishing experience.
Rose: Don’t you think fish for the most part were not given their deserved attention from God during creation in the beauty realm? For sure some fish are more ugly than others. I guess it’s okay to talk behind Mr. Humpy’s back – he is dead after all.
Hilary: You have such a dim view of me – But I think you do have the best explanation. Haven’t you ever heard of Write in the Rain paper? Very water proof.
Sylvia: I am always trying to catch pretty fish – I have to admit one small indiscretion… Oh no, I don’t.
The Survivor: Maybe you need to just get out more. Who knows what kind of fish you might come across.
Debra: LOLFLF – I think that’s a new one maybe Blunt Edges will find it useful – he is really into not using real words.
Blunt Edges: See comment above. And, why wouldn’t you agree? Surely, you are not smirking at me.
Betty: Aren’t you in the middle of catfish country? I would think ugly fish would be common place.
hahaha...LOLFLF!!! ***notes it down***
now when do i use it...someone plz have a conversation about fish!!!
Somethings fishy...
OMG! SMHID!!!Tht's a seriously FLF!! LHO!!! :D
Psst: Got influenced by Blunt Edges...
What I meant to say was- "Oh My God! Scratching my head in disbelief!! That's a seriously Funny Looking Fish!! Laughing my head off!!! :p
Blunt Edges: I was pretty sure that you would find that a thing of value.
Mr. Mind: HA HA HA…
Choco: I am so glad you are able to explain yourself. I think you hurt Humpy’s feelings.
That fish does not look real. Are you sure it came from the Snohomish River (and not from Photoshop)? hahahahahahha. Kidding. Just kidding.
Holly Kay: Can't get much past you can I?
