Question for AZ Bruce 17 Years, 5 Months ago
|
|
|
Alright, Bruce, we all know the old adage concerning plumbers and their own homes lacking when it comes to fixing their own toilets, etc. I even knew of an electrician that had a room addition done at the request of his wife. When he asked where she wanted the wall outlets placed, he did exactly as he was told. When he was finished, his wife asked, " Where were the wall switches?" His reply was, "You didn't tell me to put any of switches in."
Now that I have raised the hairs on backs of those related to the trades, lets delve into your profession of photography. When fishing, how much time do you devote to picture taking or does it take a back seat to your fishing experience at hand? And what camera are you fond of for this use? Try to stay on topic and please don't stray into your fishing techniques when it comes to steelhead, Bud.

The Shepherd has spent several dozen days observing Baaaarucie aimlessly flail the water in front of him to a froth and is quite qualified to answer these questions.
“When fishing, how much time do you devote to picture taking.... “
That is very dependant on the situation at hand for Baaaarucie. Sometimes next to none. Case in point- one morning, we were fishing a nice little, easy to get to riff on the Klamath and the Shepherd pulls a 37” yardstick dinker to the surface while greaselining a size 12 Dillon Creek Special in the 37 degree water we were fishing that Baaaarucie just went through. The Shepherd promptly lands that fish and instructs Baaaarucie to get his non-casting ass outta the water with all that expensive camera gear to get a few shots. Baaaarucie then explained to the Shepherd that the sun was too high/too low to get a good shot since that would result in either over/under exposure it wasn’t worth taking a picture. Several minutes later, the Shepherd notices a majestic bald eagle soaring overhead and points that out to Baaaaarucie. Baaarucie then explained to the Shepherd that attempting to take a photo of this living, majestic entity would be useless because all the lenses Baaaarucie had were too long/ too short and the damned bird was too close/ too far away to get the proper frame for a good shot. No pictures yet.....About 15 fish later (for the Shepherd, Baaaaarucie didn’t hook nothin’ because he can’t cast for shit.......) the Shepherd turns and notices a large, hair covered, 800 pound hominid with it’s back to the water apparently rummaging through Baaaarucie’s 75 pound backpack full of useless shit. The Shepherd then reeled up and waded in for a closer inspection, and sure enough the proverbial sasquatch in question, was chomping away on the 40 pound case of bananas (Baaaaarucie likes to throw banana peels all over the place, everywhere he fishes, presumably so he can follow the trail of peels back to the car so he won’t get lost....) and endless supply of poptarts that Baaaarucie had in the aforementioned pack. Upon even closer inspection, “this yet to be discovered” mystery primate was also washing the banana/poptart snack down with a bottle of Baaaaarucie’s Pinot Nior and had ripped open Baaaaaarucie’s big box of maxipads and was using those as Napkins. Naturally, the Shepherd pointed out this amazing sight to Baaaaarucie, who quite obviously fishes with his eyes sewn shut and can’t see anything except really huge bobbicators……. Baaaarucie nonchalantly turns, looks and tells me that pics aren’t possible because the sheen of the bigfoot’s fur was to glossy/ too dull and in combination with the flash that he had which was too powerful/ not powerful enough , would make the man-monster look like a big, undistinguishable ball of fur. Baaarucie also told me not to worry because he’s got another case of bananas and some estrogen tablets back in the car......
or does it take a back seat to your fishing experience at hand?
Again, that depends. The day after the potential “fish of a lifetime photo opportunity/ postcard photo opportunity/ You ain’t gonna believe this!” day, we’re fishing the Upper Trinity and Baaaarucie hooks this tiny, little 17” brown. Baaaarucie immediately climbs out of the water and hands me the camera. While holding this tiny, little puppy at full arm extension, Baaaarucie instructs the Shepherd to “start shooting”. Baaarucie doesn’t want the Shepherd to stop until the Shepherd runs the camera out of film. At that point, Baaaaarucie throws this diminutive little fish up on the bank, puts a rock on it’s head so it can’t flop back in the river and RELOADS the camera..... 6 times......the Shepherd has been to weddings where there weren’t that many pictures taken..... Speaking of weddings, the amount of time Baaaaarucie spent with that fish outta the water, I’m certain the fish was expecting one of two things to happen:
1- Baaaarucie to propose marriage to it.
2- Baaaaruicie to pull a heart/lung machine outta his pack and hook it up to it, so the damned thing could start breathing again....

The Shep,
Thanks for the response. Based on Bruce's noted time lag thus far, I figured it would be awhile. The references to plumbers and electricians was never meant to put Bruce off, but rereading it, it surely was baiting material. Heck, I would have never responded as well.
As for the trophy brown mentioned above- was that meant to be catch and release or catch and dehydrate based on the 6 rolls of film?
Thanks in advance.

Gitt,
It's been the Shepherd's experience that Baaaaarucie ALWAYS goes for the intended bait! He's like a starved brookie.....
My guess is that you did not get a response from Baaarucie, because this thread (like so many others on this wonderful new format) is broken, and clicking on it, takes the reader to a blank page. The only reason the Shepherd was able to read your outstanding questions, is due to the fact that the Shepherd vastly more intelligent and resourceful than the average sheeople......
