Photo number one today features a sorry result of one's effort while pulling on a big cow, but is fascinating, almost mesmerizing in study. There are many details in this shot that can get in a divers head for certain; a fisherman too; for a completely different set of reasons. Photo number two features crewman Blake Wasano and Rodney Sharp (whom we have not fished with for some time now) on the bow at Clarion pulling on one of numerous big ones Rodney landed during the February 2008 tagging adventure at Clarion.

And the last shot features two long time Royal Star favorites that forged a friendship on Royal Star enduring and endearing. Youngsters Tom Cahillane and Leonard Cunningham have accumulated so much time on Royal Star, and acheived so many fishing accomplishments, that I could take up pages writing of their fishing feats alone. But to me the finest result of their many years of fishing on Royal Star is the genuine friendship formed between them. True friendships do not come easy in this world, and the one in ten thousand that occasionally come along strike a chord of respect and admiration in my world. One look at these two gentlemen, at these two Royal Star legends, tells a story as old and new as time. Life is good with friends to share in it; life is good.
