Extraordinary fish lips - March 6, 2012
Posted: March 6, 2012 | Last Revised: March 6, 2012


Upon returning from a sweltering hot family vacation to Northern Calif Clear Lake, Uncle Tom used an unusual non-verbal communication technique to show the Hawthorne neighborhood just how successful the fishing had been.
He spent a lot of time carefully cutting out the jawbones of the large bass and catfish so that they were able to be opened wide. He nailed the now shiny white complete toothy grins to the fence. I certainly was not going to ask Aunty Jan what SHE thought of the new decorations, but do believe they stayed up there for a fairly long time. Certainly long enough to impress this 10 yr old fisherman.
