Poor Annie

She had to get some growths removed from her ear, side, feet and rear. They put her out and cut for three hours. Then they stitched everything back together, wrapped her up, woke her up (sort of), and sent her home.


That was Thursday. She’s much brighter now. One more week and she gets the stitches out.

Fish

The Ling in this picture is not a Ling Cod, it’s a Cobia. It’s more closely related to a Remora.

In Texas, they don’t call them Cobia though, they call them Ling. It’s a local name. It’s like the elusive Montezuma Quail birders search for in Southern Arizona. Quail hunters there call them Mearnies.

Another big Redfish (Red Drum).

To keep a Red Drum for dinner, it has to be between 20 and 28 inches. You get to keep one larger than 28 inches, but only one per year. All the other big ones have to be returned to the water as sportfish.
