We finally caught the clown knife fish

It’s difficult to capture in video, but this was actually extremely difficult to do.

We hooked a clown knife fish - a sizable one at that - on very light tackle. 8 pound test, not enough to lift / swing the fish outright out of the water.

The problem is that as you bring the fish in, the more it thrashes at the surface, the more it attracts the attention of the cherry-picking gator that waits under the dock. And it was a big gator.

We delicately maneuvered the fish under the water, lucky not to have it unhook. Walked it around the gator, far enough away and then were fortunately able to net it with a butterfly net.

It was EPIC!

And for those wondering: yes, the clown knife fish is an invasive species. But I checked with the game warden at Loxahatchee - you can either keep or release the fish. And I checked with the locals. You would only want to eat the clown knife fish if you were stuck on an island with nothing else to eat. 😂

Great success!

A. Art of the Day

A different time, a different era. The suit, the dresses, the top hats, the old clocks, the decorated ceilings, the hand-crafted bars, the art deco lights, the bartender in a tux, a trip back to where even the everyday was elegant, the ordinary was glamorous, and the commonplace was anything but.

A. Art of the Day

From a board member, the liveliness in this photograph, balancing and blending nature to the inner surroundings, the warm, thick, colorful carpet above stone floors, the brick-made walls below the wooden beam roof (reminding me of the old homes on the little island in the center of Paris), the broad windows embracing the light, the flowers percolating throughout, the spices along the shelves, the pillowed chair waiting, all so natural, so human, so inviting.

A. Art of the Day

Early morning hours in Venezia, the fog rolling over the canals, the gondalas slipping through the waterways encircling and interpersing the city, ancient buildings of the civilizations of old standing strong, Gothic walls weathering centuries of storms and war, the maze of bridges criss-crossing the inner walls of the city, beckoning us as the bakers begin their bread-making and the cafes start up their lattes, walking steps Marco Polo once crossed, a true gem of a city to awake to, like Atlantis risen from the sea.
