Fish Tales from Your President’s Perspective.
While using an AI app to figure out what to write this month, I discovered some surprising and fascinating facts about fishing that will leave you hooked!
The heaviest fish ever caught on a rod and reel was a great white shark weighing a jaw-dropping 2,664 pounds!
The world’s smallest fish, the Paedocypris, measures just 7.9 millimeters—tinier than a fingernail.
Parrotfish sleep in a protective cocoon of mucus to shield themselves from predators while resting.
The oldest known fishing hook, carved from a snail shell, is over 23,000 years old.
The Mekong giant catfish is a freshwater titan that can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh over 600 pounds.
Anglerfish have their own built-in fishing rods—a glowing lure atop their heads to attract prey!
Fishing goes way back to the Paleolithic era, around 40,000 years ago.
The Senior Anglers of Escondido is the best fishing club anywhere in the world.
I found the facts amazing, but was astounded when it said SAE is the best fishing club in the world. Of course, I absolutely agree with that.
MAY is another busy month for the club with fishing, camping, events, and get togethers, who could ask for more. What is on your agenda for May? I am hoping for an outstanding trip out of Ensenada in a couple of days and hope to have a fun-tastic report for you at the May meeting. I am also going to Cuyamaca later in the month. I can’t wait to be camping and sharing the days’ fishing stories around the campfire. Come up for a day or two. Last year, Ron Parker, Jim Mac Isaac, and I went up to join the group, and we all had a productive day. Hope to see you there.
I wanted to thank all of you who commended me for last months unusual meeting. I couldn’t have pulled it off without my great teammates, the BOARD. They followed my lead and gave us some great information. It is truly a pleasure to “work” with all these wonderful people.
Lastly, Julie and I celebrated our 50th anniversary and must again thank all of you for the “KIND” words and encouragement. In celebration we got ourselves a gift.

Have a great May, get out and enjoy this awesome place we live.
