Fish "tale" earrings

| 13 March, 2012 20:21

Well, as I have been thinking of spring, so comes thoughts of Minnesota and fishing on a beautiful lake surrounded by awesome people.

 

I have new designs to show, however, one in particular I have been thinking alot about, my fish "tale" earrings.  And so the story begins:

 

Quite a few years ago my husband and I were out fishing on a beautiful day for lake trout when to my surprise I got a very LARGE bite, I set the hook and for the next 15 to 20 minutes worked to get the fish to the boat.  We got the fish in the boat, a 10lb Northern Pike! Caught on 4lb test with a #10 egg hook.  During the time of my playing with the fish to get him up my husband kept telling me to tighten the drag.  I too have been fishing since I was a little girl when my father could stand to have me in the boat because I made too much noise, he did teach me alot and would rather work longer to get the fish in than to snap the line.  This is the true tale.

The tale my husband tells, he has two, one is that the fish must have been sick, the second is that I snagged it.  I think ego came into play here.  The fish was hooked squarely in the jaw.

The fish "tale" earrings show what a snagged fish would look like so that he can clearly see My fish did not look like that.

I absolutely love these earrings, they are unique, I don't believe you would find another pair anywhere like them.

 

Well, the geese are starting the flight north over the house the last couple days. Happy spring!
