Guyk likes to fish and I wonder how many meals he could get out of this big foul tasting Carp…

I have never eaten any carp before but I have ate me some Gar made like Hush Puppies by a lady in Louisiana and they wernt that bad at all…

Darin Opel, of Worden, has bow fished for 25 years, but this giant Asian carp is his biggest catch by far. Opel bagged the fish Sunday in a backwater on the Mississippi River near Alton.

Nobody will be getting the fish Opel caught Sunday — except maybe the Guinness Book of World Records.

Bow fishing for gar from the shore in backwater above the Melvin Price Lock and Dam No. 26 on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River near Alton, Opel shot a 92-pound, 8-ounce bighead carp with a compound bow and arrow.

After fighting the behemoth for 10 minutes, Opel jumped into the muddy water, bearhugged the beast and inched him to the shore.

give it you best guess in the comments if you dare…

One of the scary things about getting old is how much you can change in a year. This was taken in Kerrville May 2007, at the blowneyed blogging gathering, and if you click on it you can see how much I have changed since then…

Just after this photo was taken I had to start using a nebuliser for my emphysema, which is a nasty aliment for one to have not matter how old you are…

I just need to discipline my self to do my walking on a daily basis, as this will build up my stamina and make it where breathing is made some what easier when I am doing my daily routine…

If you don’t understand how emphysema effects your breathing, just imagine a fish out of water and watch it’s gills moving trying to get oxygen into its system, that is just how I feel sometimes when I am having difficulty sucking in air…

Animation of good and bad lungs

There are treatments for emphysema but none that eliminate it or stop it from slowly effecting all of your lungs which brings a slow death to anyone who suffers from it…

I told my sister who is a cancer survivor that I wish there were pills, radiation or any other way to stop it from growing worse and if not I would like to change to a disease that there was a cure for as anything else would be better…

When I am talking to TCDW and she asks if I have any plans, I reply just waking up, but now since i just renewed by drivers license, which expires in 2014, my goal now is to have to renew it then…

I wish I could say something profound and wise but I am just a man who takes it one day at a time until it runs out for me…

I don’t feel sorry for my self, as I believe that at conception your DNA has your future all mapped out and there are not any modifications allowed and you just have to deal with it and get on with your life as best as you can…

Clarification: Today the 5th of May (Known to some as Cinco de Mayo) is not a National , State , County or City Holiday!…

Act accordingly…

This does not surprise me at all, as math was my favorite course in school…

Found at GOC

My sister stayed behind and guarded to beer and earned a silver star of her efforts…
