somewhere around the early 70’s teaching my boy the ropes

we used whole shad 4-6” inches surf rods and reels , fished for stripers below Keystone dam off Lake Keystone west of Tulsa

it was fun hooking a 10-20 pounder in that swift water


View attachment 336983


pretty much exactly like this


We would go fishing in Montauk with a reknown guide.
FIRST We would catch porgies .
I was used to small porgies in the Long Island Sound.
Montauk porgies were huge ,so huge I would have been happy to take these godzilla fish home
Then we would cut a fin ,live line and drift over some structure or a depression.
The trick was to give the striper enough time to swallow the fish then set it .
We caught cows
 
Not me. I make a prune look young.
Meh. I'm closer in years to 100 than I am in years going back to most of youse.

Here is an interesting thing you will find you HAVE to do: Go back in time from your birthdate as far as the age you are now. Look up what happened that year.

In my case... Born in 1940. So going backwards, we get to the year... Holy smokes: 1857!! :eek:

* The Second Opium War -- France and United States declare war on China. <-- Din' know that

* A bitchin' earthquake hit Tokyo (Edo) with over 100,000 killed. Jeez.

* The horrid Sepoy Mutiny begins. Delhi seized. Cawnpore Well.

* The first Victoria Cross is bestowed.

* The Panic of 1857 begins, setting off one of the most severe economic crises in United States history.

Sad thing is,my old ass is in better shape than some of the younger ones. One guy is in his late 50s and has had back surgery and two knees replaced. The other one was a helicopter pilot, looks 80 and can't hear **** without his hearing aids and has false teeth. He is 63.😟
