julie doesn't read outdoor life otherwise she'd know that she should be covered up to prevent sun burn. in a few more hours, she'll be a lobster and you can eat those.

i definately like to fish. from a womens stand point, the bikini isn't for the crude comments. it's enjoying a passoion, while sustaining a femininity for a strapless dress with a classy guy. men will be men. however...learn from the ones who have the gorgeous women at their sides. great fish!

spadefish looks like what we called convicts in tampa waters in the 50's, caught them on a long cane pole with a line tied to the end with a bobber and doughballs. dr. julie reminds me of a fla. cracker i once knew. great girl

i think if i had as much time to fish as dr. ball i would have landed the world record largemouth by now. how many other bikini clad anglers are out there with a passion for fishing??? it appears our world doesn't have 6 billion+ people in it, and nobody else likes to fish anymore.

can't imagine catching this fish on a fly rod. i think the record spade fish is just over 13 pounds. way to go, dr. julie!

we used to catch them by the ton off grand isle, la, while tied to an oil rig. we were told they were not good to eat, but being from la, we fried 'em up anyway. delicious! and good fighters on light tackle.
