New Fishing Record

[Pete Maina]

Hi OFNers,

 

 

Hope things are well with all here. Just finished our deer season and Thanksgiving here in WI ... soon prepping for ice - though it's actually been that "time" for a little while already. I just had to attach a photo here of my fiance with her first deer. Pretty neato deal ... had son Seth on the stand with her. Absolutely amazed when I heard the shooting start (my son is not quiet) ... found out later he was asleep when the deer came.

 

I also have some interesting info that may be new to some: there is a new all-fishing record just out, by my friend - fishing musician Brian Schram - called "Rockin FishTales". Just recently released and can be had at band's site (info below) and my personal site (can hear muskie maniac song). For those of you who have watched John Gillespie's show and The Next Bite, Brian is the one that does the opening music for both. Neat deal as Brian did the muskie maniac song as a surprise for me ... then (actually while filming a show with Gillespie) thought to tell Brian he outta do a whole fishing record. Bass, catfish, pike, salmon ... and of course "skunked" songs.

 

Kinda neat to have a musician into fishing ... hopefully open a whole new demographic of younger folks to a great place: on the water.

Great stuff! A really nice pic too. I'll see you and I spose the Gillesp. dude as well this summer. Looking forward to it.. We'll be having caribou this time. You be well and thanks for posting.

[Pete Maina]

Hey Roy,

 

Good to hear from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Caribou? Really? I love it ... love all wild game, but fav (rare treat I've only had a few times) is Caribou.

 

Can we rock your house with Schram record ... you will wear a pink, fuzzy hat, right?

 

Pete

[Roy]

Yeah right...pink fuzzy hat....who do you take me for? Marc? See you in the warmer weather my friend.....welcome anytime though.

[Pete Maina]

Huh? Roy? No pink, fuzzy hat for you? Weather outside is pretty cold my friend. Keep you warm ... darn good-lookin' too. (You grow lots of hair I don't know about?)

 

Maybe Marc will borrow you a kilt ... pink hat for a kicker ... great look.

 

If I get out that way this winter, hope you'll warm up some of that Caribou.

[Roy]

Don't even mention pink nor fur. You KNOW that if you're ever out here anytime, me casa es su casa.

[BillM]

Can ya feel the love?

 

Nice deer!

Thanks Roy!!!!

 

But really? No pink?

 

I think we need to get you a whole pink, fuzzy outfit

 

And you can sing with Gillespie "I'm a fishin' man"

 

Thanks Bill

[Roy]

A couple of Old Milwackies and ol' John and I will be happenin' dudes. And Pete, there just ain't enough brews on the continent to make me wear pink.

[Pete Maina]

Yeah, you and Gillesp are quite the singing team. Say Roy, what the heck kinda beer was that you had in the fridge the last time there... Gillesp seemed to take a real liking to it.

 

Not enuf to wear pink eh ... a guy's gotta sleep

 

We'll get one of those pink furry hats on you yet ... get a few photos.

[TJQ]

Nice Deer dude.. Ill have to order up one of them albums!! and what is that wonderful lookin' woman doing with you???

[centerpin_drift]

great looking buck. Its nice to see that they are still moving WI, i heard the movement really slowed down in the last two weeks down there.

[Pete Maina]

Thanks Centerpin

 

Yeah, deer moving alright here, though numbers are down. We still had a pretty good season overall ... lots more wolf sign again this year in our area.

 

Hey TJ (Thanks for explanation on other thread ... understand best to lock).

 

So, what is it you're saying? ... not "what the heck's a great lookin' woman like that with you" - like I"m not worthy, is it? (You're right.)

 

Hey dude, while you're at it - ordering that CD - you should put in an order for pink hat for Roy too

 

Pete

[Roy]

Hey dude, while you're at it - ordering that CD - you should put in an order for pink hat for Roy too

 

Pete

 

I would have ordered one myself Pete but I think it's illegal to ship small pink wildlife cross border.

[highdrifter]

NOICE! Just in time for the Holidays..

 

Way to spread that cheer dude.

 

cheers

[Pete Maina]

Pink Wildlife illegal?

 

Horrible situation!

 

You Canadians sure have some goofy rules there. (How will I ever get Roy's pink bathrobe across the border next year?)

 

Cheers HD! Hope great holidays for you.

Congrats to your fiance on an excellent first deer.

That album sounds like it would be a great listen. A complete album dedicated to fishing is one I would listen too. I may just have to get one.

[Pete Maina]

Thanks SMB,

 

She was so excited to get that deer, after trying the year before and having one chance to get a doe ... but an excited miss. Lots of hollering going on in the normally-quiet woods.

 

And yeah, album all fishing: muskie, pike, bass, king... catfish. Actually, it's a tossup between the catfish (bluesy) and "skunked" song as favs
