Ongoing UF Baseball Commentary

My favorites

Saltwater: grouper
Freshwater: walleye

 

I used to net smelt in Chicago. Fry the whole thing and eat it head, guts and all.

 

FYI—Stetson leads SCUM 6-1 going into the bottom of the 4th @ Miami.

 

It’s now 8-2 Hatters through 5

 

Now that the discussion has turned to fishing in northern waters- (we lived on N shore of Long Island) there were many species of great fish but "the fish" was the Striper-- Striped Bass - that is one beautiful fish caught in LI Sound or Atlantic Waters- Montauk had big ones- 40-50 lbs + and in fresh water lakes in Maine-- a plethora of good fishing- all kind of trout, crappie and...land locked Salmon!- fantastic fun fishing with family or buddies in my youth.

PS-- Better than talking about Sully's future or the clear downward spiral of Gators baseball...

 

Love to see this and as much as I like fishing great to see some baseball talk and an rival getting upset.

 

I think we can apply the discussion here to the BB team-"It's time to fish or cut bait".

 

233- funny but correct- time to fish or cut bait and lots of guys seem more concerned about personal stats and draft status than playing their heart out for the club. Many others may see that as well.

 

When I was really young (five years old or so) I did go out with my dad a few times who was trying to catch a muskie. More of a trophy fish than an eating fish.

True fact: My parents went to a fish camp/resort for their honeymoon.

 

Hey folks- sorry to bring up fishing but my brother caught a 36 pound Cobia offshore Miami Beach today- he seemed happy and the three guys on boat caught all kinds of other fish. - so a great day on a relatively calm water water day. Cobia the Catch. Yeah he's a UM prof and Canes guy-- but a great guy nonetheless.

 

Berm tickets are BOGO Friday night vs Kentucky. Is that normal?

 

Sounds like a great day!

 

Hey- GatorLurker- how could I've forgotten Muskie that was one of the prizes in my youth vacations in lakes of central Maine- some things seem to slip from memory but Muskie- shouldn't. I do remember how landlocked salmon were the catch too. Thanks for reminder of times with Dad and brother.

 

He was as happy as a kid - and he's my older brother- full of enthusiasm. Love the guy

 

Is school out yet?? Maybe less students???

 

When we lived in SW FL (Naples), I found a hidden lake - more of a pond really off SR-29 canal south of Immokalee that you could only get to by busting through mangrove in a canoe that had Tarpon, Snook, and Large-mouth Bass. I don't believe those fish had ever seen a fisherman - so easy to catch (meaning even I could catch fish).

 

Graduation night and Tebow is the speaker, so attendance may be down.

 

Used to fish some places years ago on way to Marco like that.
