The Fish, Not the Fund

I was feeling pretty smug about my tarpon pictures until Pat Ford sent around some of his own from a recent fly fishing trip.

Yeah. I’ll stick to investing.

Geek versus Tarpon

May 2, 2009 • 1 Comment

From a trip yesterday afternoon with good friend Captain Ted Wilson. Fantastic time, as usual. ‘Tis the time of year for tarpon in the Keys.

Captain Ted Wilson and geek Cale Smith.

Here’s a video of the above, another of the tarpon leaping, and Ted where he’s most at home. Also, from the bow of Ted’s skiff, running through the mangroves.

Ted’s site is http://www.captaintedwilson.com, and you can read more about the silver king here.

And, yep, he swam away just fine.
