    A dog rescue from a few years ago. My beard is full gray now. His name is Bandit and is living with a friend and escapes on a regular basis.

    Finally.

    I don't come out very well on pictures. I'd rather have a fish :rolleyes: for an avatar instead ;)

    Both pics from last year. Tigerfish from Josini dam, a Rockcod from Mapalana. This is what p me really off, I have to wade in the surf in the brakers to get to the fish. I better get a move on the cat. Just thinking about it makes me feel land sick already :mad:

    He-he Jim, I use lures only, braid and some stiff carbon rods for those tigers so there's no stretch and very little give unless the drag goes. When that tiger hits your lure you get a shock in your wrist that hurts... OUTCH ! it feels soooo nice :D More more... :D

    That trip to Mapalana is what had me decide to build the cat... same as the previous trip, we could see the nice big fish swimming and many of them, and no way to get to them. Couple of times I was going to throw up. No hold back just let rip :D

    There was this one monstrous shark that cruised just off shore, probably six meters plus... and I couldn't get to the bloody thing to get a hook into it. Man, I was irritated. I even made some kites and what do you know... the wind never even shifted from exactly parallel to the shore.

    Who The F'ck Cares...

    Hello...

    I figured out how to do profile shots in Rhino with Pics - so there I am - my gallery - shameless...

    As for Mannie - lets see some more photos of your build - I took it upon mysef to take your drawings into Rhino but - 'my friend Ray' - took me crabbing in Indian Arm this weekend...

    Holy burnt up forearms - forehead - and back of the neck...:)

    Anyway - Mannie - post some more build shots...

    Email me directly for other - cannot promise consistent work - for obvious reasons...:)

    Always - the bag a' beer...

    Hope you are all well...

    SH.

    Well...
    Looking at you folks, I herewith finally present to you a picture that will rise the level of looks on this forum up to the population average... The thing I'm standing on are bandyskates (like hockeyskates, less rules, round rope ball intead of puck, From my time in "Lund desperados"), supported by "ice", Much like Jesus I think. I need approx 40 mm of it, much less if i have some malt available.
