I think he had heard that a few times before.

He laughed and said that Sammy comes in October (probably for the Bisbee Black and Blue marlin tourney I guess?) and plays there around xmastime.

They had a great band when we were there too. We get in Nov. 2nd. Probably miss him. Oh well. Hope the fishing's still good.

it should be better by then, if you are after roosterfish. The warmer water was just moving in when we left. (The ocean was downright COLD (74 F) for most of the week.)
I think the fishing is phenomonal there in early November/late October- best time of the year for marlin I believe. Don was soooo sad he never got to catch his roosterfish. But that amberjack was yummy.
They are sure protesting against that new longline fishing regulation, Nom 129, that will kill off a lot of sportfish.

I think they split up a long time ago, didn't they? or are they back together?
I always thought they looked so much alike.

ours wasn't QUITE that big , I think it was about 7 pounds. But yeah, really tasty fish, white and firm, we took it to a marina restaurant and they cooked it up, 4 different ways, BBQ, cajun, Veracruz and garlic butter. Mmmm.

Watching one of the multitude of poker shows on nowadays, and I think I found Eddie's long lost half brother...

Good stuff Riss!!! Probably similiar to the others in the "Jack" family.....Yellowtail, Roosters, etc... The smaller they are the better the meat is. Example....Big Roosters are darker than the small lighter fleshed/tenderer ones. So this big Amber, while I could grill it....it will be better smoked (accumulated oils, with age)

I've always thought Scotty looked very much like Alex myself

I think he's great. He is, who he is. I hated it when he cut his hair a couple of years ago. Did you happen to see Phil Hellmuth on the WSOP this week. God, I hate that guy. I just love to see him lose.

What was this thread about again

[NiceTom]

Putting his son in the band strikes me as pretty lame. I don't have a problem with daddy helping him out, but to make those old Van Halen fans have to listen to his 16 year-old son play is just indulgent. Get the kid started with his own band and his own music instead of making him be the next Gary Cherone.

here's an article on wolfie from last year. the problem with not having michael anthony in the band is he IS the background vocals for the group. he's got a great voice and I don't see wolfie picking up that end of the vocals.
