Thousand Words Thursday


Is this not one of the best pics you've ever seen? Even if you don't know my uncles, Bill and John (now, or during the 1970's), you have to love this shot.


Priceless, no?

[Update: Mr.4444 is so stinkin' smart. He just saw this post and informed me that these fish, while impressive in size, would  be completely useless, since they are dead or dying. He says they were salmon, likely caught near Uncle John's farm, which is near the river, which is where salmon swim to die after spawning. I learn something new every day!]

  11. Wow, those are a huge catch. Looks like they have been to nearby Lake Michigan. Love the 70s-ish look with the car.

  12. Fishing is truly fun. What a great catch. The huge smiles are well deserved. The dog doesn't look very impressed though.

  14. Is the dog a relative of Cooper's? I think I'm remembering the dog's name right.
    That is a monster fish. Is it a muskie?

  15. WOW, that's amazing. The largest fish I've ever caught probably isn't even the size of their tails.

  19. Everything about this picture takes me back to my childhood. The house, the car, the fish (my dad was a fisherman...never anything that big I might add!), the clothes.

    Great.
