Fishing

As a young whipper snapper, fishing meant the world to me. I was lucky enough to grow up a stones throw from the ocean. So as my parents built their house, i was hooked on fishing. From the ages of  6 till my early teens fishing was a good part of my life, and still is to this day. Last night i went to dig up some old photos and came across this little beauty above. I was in my late teens at uni and remember it quiet clearly. I'd wandered down to the local marina with camera around my neck and fishing rod in hand. After 15mins or so of flicking the lure about fruitlessly one of my mates saw me and came over asking for a couple of casts. Without hesitation i hand him the rod and thought well this could be a chance to take some photos while i'm here. As i turned to walk away my friend swung the rod back hooking the lure straight through the top of my ear! The only subject shot that day was myself, and for  the following few months i had a nice new ear piercing to show for it.
