This is my posting for the My World Meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Sylvia and myself. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive.
I went to a sportsman show this week at the Ohio National Guard Armory in Stow, Ohio. The guard displayed a few pieces of equipment out front of the armory.
I ran into an old friend that had mounted my Fish Ohio Walleye in 2003. His name is Skip Schweitzer and he fishes Lake Hodgson at times. He used to be a sports writer for the local paper and featured me one time. I enjoy seeing Skip every time I meet him. He runs a Skip's Taxidermy in Mantua, Ohio just North of Kent.
This is a pair of fish he caught on Lake Erie. It is a big Walleye and a big Sheepshead (Freshwater Drum). It was a fun day for him.
I also met Jack Kiser who currently writes for the paper and ran the show. He is the founder of Buckeye Angler Multimedia and hosts a TV show. We had a good conversation.
I went to a Muskie Seminar which I will tell about later but thought a neat photo of a Muskie would be cool. They are the biggest fish we have in the area.
There was so many other things going on this weekend to be left for another day. The Ohio State Basketball Team won the Big Ten tournament and heads to the dance with a #2 seed.
Sounds like a fun event to attend. I enjoyed the sequence of shots.

ReplyDeleteI haven't noticed that header photo before, it is amazing, the fish caught by the camera and the lure at the same instant.
Looks like you had a fun time! Thanks for stopping by my post about names today! It is a fun list, and we had even more fun making up new names, not just for bird groups but other wildlife, too. Sure had a lot of laughs and came up with some imaginative names. Take care, karen
ReplyDeleteA post that sums your blog name up a treat. Say what you see. Love to have a go in that tank. Love the header shot too. Timing perfect.ta

ReplyDeleteThis is great. I love to go fishing, sitting out in the boat waiting for a bite. Haven't gotten to do it for a very long time. Hoping I will eventually get to go again, and more often. Thanks so much for sharing your world.

ReplyDeleteHi Tom, I just posted a new header showing snow drops - what's next? How does the header competition work :)
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have been there... my eyes would have been darting from one stall to the next... just like a kid in a sweet shot... ha!..
ReplyDeleteI will nip over and see Maries header...
That is the first time I've ever seen a musky. I've heard of them all my life but never seen one.
ReplyDeleteI know that must have been a fun weekend for you!
Some good looking fish there Tom.
