Some of you may remember that I posted about going diving a few months ago and that I caught a fish with my bare hands. Well, my mother took the pictures and I have been eagerly waiting to get copies. Today, I got some computer printed photos of my fish in the mail.
Here are some of the pictures I scanned into my computer. They are poor quality at best but you will get the gest of it. This fish was so big and heavy. I remember when I grabbed hold of it, it tried to swim away and it was hard for me to hold on to it. It was way to big for my catch bag so I swam with it in my arms like a baby til someone donated their catch bag. It was the biggest bag any of us had and 1/3 of the fish still stuck out of the bag. LOL
After the dive I took it to show my mother. She took pictures of my fish and I sent it home to my grandfather a/k/a Papaw because he was a fisherman and he and I went fishing, camping, berry hunting, etc together when I was a little girl. He even taught me how to play baseball with the boys. Heehee.
He was tickled to death and now he tells all his friends how his granddaughter caught this fish with her hands while diving in Myrtle Beach. Then he pulls out the ragged picture of me in his chest pocket and flashes it around. He's my biggest fan. Love you Papaw.
Well, I thought I would show you all my "big" catch while diving. The top photos are me holding it up and the bottom pictures are to give you a reference as to size. My foot is approx. 10 1/2 inches long. I will never forget catching that fish with my hands. I am sure it will probably never happen again. That's a pretty big fish even if it were caught by a fishing rod.
Ok lobster hunters can you do this? R
PS don't look at me in the pictures, look at the fish - remember it was a diving day. The medusa dive hair is tucked under the hat. Hahaha
