I got a phone call today from my former business partner and California fishing buddy, Ed Wall, pictured above this past Christmas with his lovely wife, Darlene.
“How long are we going to have to look at that five- or six-inch long fish?” he asked, referring to a photo in the last post.
“FIVE OR SIX INCHES,” I responded. “It’s at least 15” long.”
“Can’t be if those are ‘two-by-fours’ it’s laying on,” he retorted.
“Ah, but they are two by eights,” I pointed out.
Turns out, he was bored silly and was looking for fresh reading material. Admittedly my last post was two full weeks old.
Well, now it isn’t.
At least Ed has something to read tonight. They were planning to fly out at midnight to visit their son’s family in Maine, but the east coast snow storm cancelled their flight.

Darlene is the one on the right!
Those boards looked like a 1" X 2" to me. I think that classifies the fish as a "minnow"
Actually, the truth be known, Roger is an excellent fisherman and that is a great catch for someone fishing with a "bobber" & a piece of cheese!!
