Those are the hands of Jason Puris of Thefin.com releasing a striper in the surf. Jason proved a huge help to getting our book project off the ground.
Tosh Brown took some awesome shots in incredibly harsh conditions and posted some of them here, in a lightbox on his site.
Now my job starts. Time to put some real thought onto the page, rather than firing off blog posts.
Thanks again to Jason, Paul Dixon, Jim Levison, John McMurray, Mike Warecke, and the Salty Fly Rodders of New York.


i’m sure you’ll think of something proper, Pete.
Cheers and congrats!
Rob
Sweet shots! Looks like it will be fantastic.
He did a stellar job of cropping out your conjoined twin.
The twin was easy; it was the neck goiter that gave me some trouble…
I look forward to the final product.
My hands are still recovering from that day. Not huge fish but loads of them so it kept it fun.
good luck with the project pete. yeah, I know there’s only going to be work. But good wishes on its succes anyway.
Actually they can wonders with neck goiters these days.
The pics look mighty good, best of luck with the book. Will there be pages we can color ourselves?
That’s no goiter. Don’t anger Kuato, the psychic leader of the rebellion who lives in…ah hell, you’d have to have seen Total Recall last century to see where I’m going with this…
