Although it was surprisingly slow for some reason, I did manage to get a couple shots...

After getting 2 shots and landing 2 fish, I went back out to the last spot I'd shot a fish to try to get another.

Half hour later, hadn't seen another fish, so I headed back to shore to get my 2 that were on the stringer and head back downstream toward the truck.

When I got about 3 ft. from my fish...a rock moved right next to them

This guy was about to feast on an easy meal...

Not happy!

Making his get away...

The fish in my left hand(bottom fish in next pic)is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, I've shot all year.Gave me one heck of a fight!

Then as I got back to my truck I saw something else I wasn't expecting......

By my truck I ran into this very talented lady...

There were two ladies painting, and both were genuinely interested in what I was doing.

They asked was if I was hunting, or fishing....I said... "well both"

That's cool Curt!

Did you ask if they could paint you in one of them?

bigbadjon · « **Reply #8 on:** July 30, 2010, 10:50:00 AM »

Should have kept the turtle if allowed, best thing to eat out of a river I says.

A good Morning and that Lady has skills.A lot of people eat turtles but I got to tell ya I will have fried all the fish in there before I start cooking a turtle.RC

bigbadjon · « **Reply #10 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:24:00 AM »

Don't have a taste for turtle I take it. Well more for me then!

BMN · « **Reply #11 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:24:00 AM »

Nice. That would be very cool if she would paint you in standing on the rocks at full draw.

rushlush · « **Reply #12 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:31:00 AM »

Looks like a great start to the weekend.

Cyclic-Rivers · « **Reply #13 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:36:00 AM »

Will they Pastel you into the picture? That would be pretty cool.

I was harrassed when I bowfished on the Wallkill. Sounds like you crossed paths with nicer women than I.

Is that considered baiting :confused:

KentuckyTJ · « **Reply #14 on:** July 30, 2010, 11:56:00 AM »

Yeah you should have asked her to paint you in there while at full draw standing out on those rocks Curt. She probably would have asked you to take off your shirt but don't be afraid of that.

Mudd · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2010, 12:02:00 PM »

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

If I had to pick one over the other to eat. I'd pick the turtle..lol

God bless, Mudd

Big_Al · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2010, 12:52:00 PM »

That turtle would have been GREAT eating!

Dry Creek · « **Reply #17 on:** July 30, 2010, 01:49:00 PM »

Looks like a very good morning!

nc recurveman · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2010, 02:30:00 PM »

RC Im surprised, as a fellow web foot I figured you would know what to do with a turtle. they can be REAL good eatin, I would think in a high country stream like where guru is they would be outstanding.

glenbo · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2010, 05:43:00 PM »

Very nice morning my friend.I wish I could have been there but you know where I was.
