It's something that needs to be regulated a little.When I first started fishing in Florida they had commercial fishing boats everywhere but when they said they had to be a mile from shore I watched the fishing improve 100% immediately. They were catching everything before they got close to shore. CLEdit: And they were using gillnets so everything they couldn’t keep died.
Tutti=Everyone in Italian.....damn Irish fockers....and its because you knew this was a story telling morning and the more cannabis @MagicStone vapor the merrier!Tutti? Wasn’t she a character from some stupid 80s show? Lmao I’m really high right now and keep hitting my @MagicStone for some reason. CL
Nah im telling you, for real, she wanted to cuddle. 110%I still say that lioness was thinkingabout how she would enjoy a little Italian for dinner
. Lmao
. CL
I do treat them poorly occassionally but that's just so they know how good they have it every other day of their existence with me!I was going to say the other day you need a paving block in bottom of tent but you said you treat them mean so I didn't bother
Buddy, I'm excited for it. Rob knew I had been talking about it with you since he creeps on me on my journal sometimes lol I'll be sure to talk it up in all it's glory just the same as you once I get it. And being my heart conditions and heart issue yesterday, this will be a good break for my chest.Yeah you’re gonna thank me and then tell me that I was right all along but because you’re my little Italian robe buddy I won’t even say that I told you so. lol But just think Jersey. CL
For Christ's sake, someone give this man a typewriter, some paper reels and a log cabin in Maine (@Bode, look that up, maybe you could be neighbors) and make a call to Peguin Random House Publishing ASAP. I was so into this short story, I smell like smelt and my skin is exfoliated with ocean salt.It was a blistering hot summer day and the Gloria J was in the thick of Tuna central...The Grand Banks! I'd been nearly thrown off the pulpit earlier that day as we steamed out and saved myself having one arm and leg still inside the rail to fight my way back into its safety!
A fear that has never left me since!
Chumming didn't take long to produce the BANG from the pink child's balloon we used as a bobber as this 632 pound apex predator of the sea hit our sewed on whole mackerel 25 feet down in our chumline I was cutting and throwing!
Chaos immediately ensued after the big Boom! Engines started, other baits reeled in pronto and my next task was to RUN to the bow and throw the anchor line overboard with it's mooring ball attached! We'll be back for that on our victorious return!
That done the person lucky enough to be wearing the belt that holds the rod as you pump away on the crank of the reel sat in the chair that I get to steer as he fights and we water him down and keep him from dying before the prey we came for! It was a hot and sticky day at the Banks! We took half hour turns wearing the belt.
Three hours plus passed as we fought this behemoth creature to the edge of the Gloria J! I came up again to gaff and tail wrap it! The gaff is a 6 inch stainless steel razor sharp hook on a pole with rope attached! I aligned it under the fish and pulled up as hard as I could and missed! Almost flying back on my ass! The second pull I hit a wall! Got it, and almost pulled myself in the drink while at it! This fish was for the first time ours after almost 4 hours of the hardest work I know of!
But wait there's more! We had to tail wrap with line and get it in the boat through a door in the transom/stern! Yep me again! That fish was a moment away from being completely ours now. Mike held the line and I grabbed the tail with both hands one on each side it the body. To my surprise it started to swing that tail, banging it against the boat nearly breaking both my arms! Both arms black and blue like you read about! I went at it again in a minute and used my head more than my arms and boom! Fish in boat! What a day on the ocean! My first and last tuna hookup. I'd been out a few times before. This was the jackpot! I was in my teens.
Other than that I don't remember much about that day
OK you're story is more like something out of Scholastic but nonetheless, I felt as if I was tagging along on this fishing excursion and grossly enough, I can smell your sweatWhat a great fish tale and I thought hooking 150 + Tarpon was a workout. The line screaming off the Penn 4/0 Senator was smoking it was so hot. Both of my arms were numb and my shoulders were on fire
. Sweat was pouring off me and burning my eyes and then it goes 10’ airborne shaking its head violently and then it throws the hook. I stand there like a deer
in a spotlight trembling with my heart
beating out of my chest and think
fishing
. CL
Stoners like the hard way...and oh Croc Dundee!Sounds like the hard way
The Captain shall not share his pictorial wonders for the whales of the sea shall never swim near his fishing vessel again!
Oh never-mind Rugged, it was just cause Stone's stoner self lost the epic pictures so now we all need to suffer and force ourselves to use our stoner imagination
I got a rush, probably what started giving me these chest pains lol jkkkkkkkmmmmHaha! You got it! What a rush!
I think we are chock full of fishermen and fisherladies here. How awesome would it be to go out on a fishing cruise with y'all!? I know we have mentioned trying to centralize and do a banger block party but this is just something else we could try and do together from all parts of the world. Maybe...wishful thinking of course
mmmm lobster but I still love crab more! And shrimp! I love shrimp! Oh and btw, you got so caught up in all the commentary, you skipped past my tented flowering plant update! Oh Bode, what will I ever do with you?! Thank goodness you are such a splendid individual and I could never hold that against you! Love you long time!
Red Russian XXL...hmmmm, I use Sirius Black generally to sleep since I found that or the G-13 that is in the tent now but I want a super duper strong Indica, anything similar or comparable to the Russian that you have had sleep success with Carmen? To be honest, I slept in the hospital last night and I had the best night of sleep I can remember other than the night after the lion the other day.
He was given the information for GA. He was given a referral for individual counseling also to address his compulsiveness and addiction. He did make an appointment, its next week. Maybe we will see a turn around, until then, I'm know just stressing
Weed is the first thing in thr damn boat! Then the tackle box!One can't make up a story like that and tell it to someone who knows!
That moment the shear pin went you knew you were in for a different day! Have a radio? Or better yet a jay? I've been stranded on a small island with another person and his dog when the tide came up and ended our way back to land. We had a couple of cod too so it was a good night of fishing! We slept with Jenny ( the wonder dog) between us for a few hours, it was fall. The cod was good! I find it important to carry some weed in the tackle box! Never know when an emergency pops up!
Isn't he and oh should he begin a Memoriam: Best of the Best All Time Fishing ExpedtionsYou are a good story teller! These would go nicely in a book of fishing tales
mmm Cod
mmmm clams
mmmm flounder
Mmm bass

Omg Crab boil...you guys are killing me I'm at the hospital with crap food!
I do....I watch plenty of How to Catch a SmugglerOnly problem with that is you never know when the Coast Guard or Fish cops are gonna want to inspect your boat and catch. CL
Mmm both are better than this yucky stuffScallops are like heaven but Stone Crab Claws are Nirvana. CL
Terrible. Dead fish, makes me sadWhen I first started fishing in Florida they had commercial fishing boats everywhere but when they said they had to be a mile from shore I watched the fishing improve 100% immediately. They were catching everything before they got close to shore. CL
Agreed.
Toradol? Screw that shit. I was @ the hospital writhing in pain for 12 hours but because I look like someone who takes drugs they kept giving me the runaround. We’re just waiting for the doctor to order the morphine sir. Finally I pulled the I.Vs out of my arms bleedingTutti=Everyone in Italian.....damn Irish fockers....and its because you knew this was a story telling morning and the more cannabis @MagicStone vapor the merrier!

I know what it must be like to have all that responsibility of keeping the home together and smiling through the pain. You grow beautiful plants and I know how soothing and healing a good grow can be! Give your littles some kisses and hugs xx
To be honest, I think the weight of this tipped me over yesterday. Started having chest pains early like 6AM and when they kept coming at 4PM, I came to the hospital....spent the night, waiting on my cardiologist to get here to look over my reports and see if I can go home and just follow up with him on our already scheduled appointment Monday for a Halter monitor.
As for my little, he is at mils now but she texted me last night while she was laying with him and she said he told her, "Gaga, I love touching Mama's hair and I like touching yours, too". If that doesn't fix the world idk if anything ever will.
Xoxoxo thanks girl.

Agreed.
So I've been dealing with health stuff again so
unfortunately guys no updates yet today. My watch was ensuring me I was having some heart jumps as I was able to catch some on its EKG monitor when they just kept happening over and over again, which led me to the hospital where I got a regular EKG and have been hooked up to a heart monitor all night.
I'm stuck at the hospital til I can get my cardiologist here to say I'm OK to go. Strong sharp palpitations have stopped as of this morning. No heart attack, I have low blood pressure, in fact so low, 94/48 last night, that they couldn't give me morphine so I had to get toradol. Seems to be muscle spasms in my heart wall probably caused but stress. Thickening of the wall in my heart much like inflammation to an overused body muscle or tendon, but in my heart. The stress stressed my heart to a point it got inflamed as if it were working out which led to the sharp stabbing pains.
If anyone has heart issues or may have some come up, please address them ASAP because you just never know the underlying cause and it is better to be safe than sorry.
Gotta go now cause my hospital roomie is trying to take off her IV to go smoke a cigarette! Catch you all when I get home, I promise I'm OK! And thanks for all these stories! @Bode, don't miss thr next Plant update!
Love you all xo
all over the floor and freaked out a nurse. Wants to know what I’m doing? I’m fucking going home bitch, I can lay in my bed and be in pain with all the benefits of being home. They stopped answering me when I hit the nurse button. Called a uber and went home. CL
. What’s this Scholastic shit? I should be writing for a fishing magazine thank you 
. I spent about as many days fishing as I have been incarcerated which is quite a few. Not bragging but stating the facts. CL. 
Never a dull moment, thanks Rugged....xo
Dani, thanks brother. XoWish you the best outcome. Hang tight, love and light for you.
You loose cannon! If they gave me morphine, my heart would probably just stop lol it would bring my BP and heart rate way too low. My resting heart rate is already only 50-56. Sleep that number is like 43, had I taken morphine and slept, I wouldn't have woken upToradol? Screw that shit. I was @ the hospital writhing in pain for 12 hours but because I look like someone who takes drugs they kept giving me the runaround. We’re just waiting for the doctor to order the morphine sir. Finally I pulled the I.Vs out of my arms bleeding
Eh I mean, there is no marijuana dosing here.....but they are quick to offer an opoiod. So sad. I'm sad without bud. It's just sad.
Well damn, Scholastic was just for normal readers is all I meant....never thought you didn't have some of the very best fishing stories to tell! Just think Stone's was like Grapes of Wrath meets Wicked Tuna and that deserves a Penguin Publishing! You're still the bomb, don't worry my friendWishing you n yours all the best and praying for your highest good
I’m just busting your lady balls
my lil Italian robed friend. And don’t worry about your girl’s, weed is a very resilient plant. You just get better 
and back to entertaining us with your beautiful plants and knowledge about growing. CL. 
Take care and get it sorted hopefully the doctors are onto itTutti=Everyone in Italian.....damn Irish fockers....and its because you knew this was a story telling morning and the more cannabis @MagicStone vapor the merrier!

Thank you so much Shed, he said he would stop doing stupid shit....see if it holds water...Fat oof! I hope they get you sorted soon, and perhaps a cardiac stress scare might cause a bit of a rethink by Mr Tomatohead.
They are and he really is the sweetest little boy, Shed. Such a lover
I know you are always busting my balls lol plants are alive even though it was dark in there, I came home about 30 minutes ago. I'll check on them more thoroughly when lights come on. Bubblegum outside was fine and her tent stable.I’m just busting your lady balls
Omg 3 heart attacks! Papa!!! Absolutely agree with multiple opinions, in fact the GI hospital doctor was in my room with my roomie and I brought up my tumor marker information to him and bloodwork and he immediately said, the numbers keep going up, why didn't they give you an MRI on your upper abdomen, it is better for GI issues than the CT scan....he said to follow up and ask my hematologist in 2 weeks at my next visit. I love weed, it gets me through and so does growing it. Drama is unnecessary, stress is manageable if you can find the right balance. And here I am again talking about finding this balance. I need more downtime for me, or any. Doc told me straight up I'll keep ending up back here if I don't get help around the house, time for myself and my better half to stop doing things that upset me.I'm here @Krissi Carbone
Ugh
Girl.
I
Have
No
Words.
As a 40 yr old. I have had 3 heart attacks, 18,21,25 yrs old. I was told my life needed to be less stressful. My career of choice was killing me.
What I have learned since then.
Life is short
Drama is stupid
Weed is good
Problems go away
Money comes and goes
Hospitals are stupid expensive
I like weed
Growing is fun and stress-free
Blood pressure is NOT is not overrated. It is in fact not talked about enough. Coming from someone who has always had extremely high BP 170/110 average.
Doctors don't always give you the right diagnosis, or even the correct results.
3rd 4th and 5th opinions are always nice. Especially if insurance picks up the bill.
If I wouldn't have seen my 5th doctor, to question the previous 4. I would probably have died by now.
Keep your head up!
That they are, were. My cardiologist couldn't make it in so they had a 3rd cardiologist from the hospital come and see me and he was the one with the medical terminology diagnoses and plan of action moving forward. Thanks for the care Absorber.
Gid, such is life and I'm grinding in it along with you and everyone else. Consider this a wake up call for me to start making sure my needs are met and others close to me identify the need for change.
Let's hope it isn't myocarditisThank you so much Shed, he said he would stop doing stupid shit....see if it holds water...
Excerpt from last text:
...can you guys feel all the love and accountability in that one lol smh....better than nothing, right? The nurse even left a note on the front of my discharge papers for Tomatohead to see
They are and he really is the sweetest little boy, Shed. Such a lover

But yes guys and gals I am home and TK actually gave the baby a bath when we got back instead of making me do it. That's incredible as it is. I'll feed a couple big girls tonight and if I don't get to pics, I'll get to them in the morning and I'll catch you all then. Going to sit down on the couch and just take it easy the rest of the night.
Thanks again all for all of the well wishes and good juju
take care
Funny you say and know of that, follow up with my cardiologist is Monday....it was mentioned as a possibility. I had already had an appointment scheduled for my Halter monitor to be put on that day so just going to kill 2 birds with one stone. Thanks brotherLet's hope it isn't myocarditis
Since the covid
there's been an increase in myocarditis and pericarditisI have atrial fibrillation so I know a little about certain things.
I was told that those are popular long Covid symptoms.....fucking Covid.....I did leave with sinus bradycardia too for some reasonSince the covid
Hopefully its neither
you have afib huh? Oh dear....what do you do for that?I have atrial fibrillation so I know a little about certain things.
Long covid is
no one who didn't get the is suffering from "long covid" its actually immunity damage from the and i got the flu of a mate who reckons he had covid for 3 months and I got rid of it in a week.
