I can not tell a lie...

[Christopher K. Hartley]

I must confess, I cheated on Beauty (for any nubies, that is my Lathe) yesterday,:( The allure was too great, the Sirens beckoned and I succumb to their call. I'm so ashamed:o...NOT!

Blue Cat 15 lbs 49 oz My buddy one upped me at 27 1/2 pounds.

I promise I'll N____ do it again...He He!

Would you believe me if I told you I turned it?;)

[Kyle Iwamoto]

Nice fat cat.... My biggest was 12 or so. Congrats!

[Mark Hubl]

Get the Tabasco! Rick...that's a Photoshop fishing trip! :D:D;)

[bob svoboda]

Nice job! Did you use a vacuum chuck to reverse and turn the tail fin? Wait!! 15 lbs 49 oz???

[jared herbert]

This is what I did to cheat, actually taken last year, a little different weather than the fishing pictures, but then who can ever believe an old fisherman. jared

[Rick Markham]

Haha... nah... it's just St. John's pass in Florida... those are just little groupers, barely even keepers ;)

[Rick Markham]

Nice buck Jared! How did you get him to hold still for the photo? :D

[jared herbert]

The black tool laying on the deers body was all it took to calm him down. It is a muzzle loader, puts alittle more sport in to in, only one shot at a time. Temp was about 0 at the time too.. Jared

[Tim Rinehart]

hmmm, the deer looks like alot of effort for some pen blanks and duck calls from antler...oh well...:rolleyes::D

[Rick Markham]

Ooooo, that's a new aspect to this turning hobby I hadn't considered... OMG this gets to fuel my "other" expensive hobby as well :eek:

Happy happy joy joy!!!

"but honey... I have to hunt for some new blanks today!" :D


Oh yes, I keep forgetting to tell you what a nice catfish ya got there Christopher! I bet it was fun to fight. What lb test were you using, and what kind of rod?

Chris you should be ashamed of yourself. Cheating like that. NOT!!!!!!! By the way nice cat there. Make some good eat'in.

[Ray Bell]

You are a fisherman, and "you can not tell a lie" ha, do you really expect anybody to believe that;)

[Jim Underwood]

Hey you fisher guys...

If you haven't seen it, you should check out Gary Ljostad's awesome Madrone Fish at the AAW forums/gallery.

You could turn one...:D

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Chris you should be ashamed of yourself. Cheating like that. NOT!!!!!!! By the way nice cat there. Make some good eat'in.OK Bernie, I'm hanging my head in shame. My wife makes Catfish Cakes...akin to MD Crab Cakes and they are to die for, so what can I say?

You are a fisherman, and "you can not tell a lie" ha, do you really expect anybody to believe that;)Ah come on Ray...have a little compassion here. Cut a fellow turner some slack! Please???:(

[David DeCristoforo]

You can turn that fish... then you haven't cheated at all. Just turn it into a dinner. OK, ok, it's a technicality I know. But as any lawyer will tell you, there have been more than many cases won on technicalities...

[Reed Gray]

It is not cheating if you serve it on wood platters.

"Ah come on Ray...have a little compassion here. Cut a fellow turner some slack! Please"???

Christoper, as a fellow turner, I believe you, but as a fellow fisherperson???
