ENTER: Miscellaneous Avatar Contest: Fishing!

[Deranged Nasat]

Nature would like to offer its deepest apologies for the blobfish, and promises that it's learnt its lesson regarding deadlines and sensible planning. However, it isn't the only guilty party, is it? If humanity wasn't poking around in the deep with nets and hooks and rods and what have you, the blobfish would have remained in obscurity and darkness, where it belongs. So this contest is dedicated to FISHING, the noble pursuit that your Grandfather tried to teach you.

The standard rules apply, under 150X150 and 140KB for gifs; no general media.

I'll start off not with my grandfather but a slightly more distant relation, who will show you the basics:

I've been once-- at my brother's bachelor party. I ended up catching more fish than any of his more experienced friends-- bravo for life's little ironies-- but I got pictures mostly of the sea and sky. I'll have to see what I can dig up....

My brothers and I went once with my dad. I didn't catch anything.

apparently, there's a fish in this photo...

 

[RJDiogenes]

Eighty-seven pictures from our fishing trip and only two contain a fish. And he's about to be subjected to the tender mercies of a knife. So. Plan B.

There we go.

I like the variety we've gotten so far. I'll give it a couple more days before I start the voting thread.

Okay, last chance for entries, because I'll start monkeying around with the voting thread in about 8 hours.
