The Niño

For some reason, my wife and I have a guhjillion subscriptions to various magazines. I feel like we get a new issue of something everyday. Most of them are hers of course. The only magazine I look forward to is my National Geographic….mostly because of this.  I really want to know if we make it in. I feel . . . → Read More: The Niño

Cyborg pigs and mutant cows

Ah, my first full post here at my new place.

As a fish blogger, I suppose I have to address the 400 lb Liger in the room, and it’s name is genetically modified Atlantic salmon.

AquaBounty’s genetically modified salmon has been all over the news lately. News articles are everywhere, throw a rock and hit one.  People are wondering if it’s safe, . . . → Read More: Cyborg pigs and mutant cows

Shiny happy people holding hands

What’s been going on in my world the past couple of weeks.

I decided to tag along with a couple of co-workers over at the commercial docks. These guys work the docks during the week, interviewing captains and sampling catch to obtain crucial information about what is pulled out of the ocean.

Indeed

The other day we set out from the ramps just before dusk. The sun was going down as we motored across the calm waters. The temperature was just right, there was light breeze that aroused and the sky was full of the brilliant hues of sunset. Ahhh, it was a perfect evening for romance.

Spawning was imminent. . . . → Read More: Indeed

Fort Knox of Fish

Hey friends. It’s been awhile.

I apologize for my disappearance from the land of blogging. While you were desperately holding your breath in my absence, I had some big life changes. I switched jobs and cities, so to my defense I’ve been a little busy with the adjustment. Ok, it was a long adjustment. I even missed . . . → Read More: Fort Knox of Fish

Kung-Fugu

So, I slacked off over the holidays. Were you expecting more? You should know me by now.

Every stomach is a big bag of Christmas!

Hey party people.

It’s always a complete surprise. When I pluck a fish stomach out of its alcohol bath, the tenacious nerd in me says, “Man, I hope there’s something really cool in here.”

Well, I guess cool is relative. Most people would think finding a golf ball or a Yanni cassette in a fish stomach would be . . . → Read More: Every stomach is a big bag of Christmas!

Toilet humor

Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a month. Honestly, there’s been little time to write and little motivation on my part. However, aside from the Holidays coming up, time is now on my side and my motivation has never been stronger. Material is a little lacking, but hey….we’re past that. I’ll just keep posting about things . . . → Read More: Toilet humor
