Well those of you that know me know that i work on an oil rig in the middle of the gulf of mexico. We are about 150 miles off shore and in 7900 feet of water. There seems like there is nothing to do when you are off, so me and a couple of buddies go fishin after work every night. These are the "victims" from my last time offshore.

 

very cool, do you cook for the crew?

sushi for everyone..........nice

It will keep you in fish sticks for awhile :mrgreen:

hey tj, how about a 50lb tuna for a 357..

The stupid thing is we aren't allowed to eat them off shore. Supposedly everything eaten on the rig has to be FDA approved. So we just clean them up, divide them amongst all that helped bring em in and I fly home with my share. At least they let us put it in the freezer.

that is stupid in a way, but i guess it keeps the rig safe..

My personal best. He ended up being 168lbs.

Nice!

I love fish! Yummy yummy

looks like I know who is bringing lunch to the North meets South event

 

nice catches deep sea fishing is the best. Put me on fresh water and I'm bored in 5 minutes, salt water keeps me entertained for hours.

2nd pic down - dude you're not supposed to shoot the fish

Sometimes you have to shoot the wild ones to get them on board!

 

Awesome pictures. I love fishing. I haven't seen much saltwater action lately, though.

Wow, great fish.
