09/06/2007: "Early Eye Candy"

Through some fluke of nature, I'm fishing two weekends in a row, so I won't be here on Friday to deliver the usual breakfast treat of Eye Candy. Now, I could just leave you to suffer, but what kind of host would I be then? So instead, you get it served up a day early.

This week, we actually have a fishing-related topic - and a hardcore one at that. Meet Candace Meyer, world record-holding offshore fisherman. Among her many accomplishments is catching the all-tackle world record bigeye tuna (370-lbs) in 2003, and the women's 20-lb record blue marlin - a 490-lber - in 2004, both in Ghana. You can tell just from her ... equipment ... that she's a serious fisherman. Surprising to see no Hays' Handle on that rig ...

She might have needed a little help from her plastic surgeon to fill out that bikini, but she'll never need anyone's help to bring in her fish!

All Tackle Atlantic Big Eye Tuna = 392 lb 6 oz caught by Dieter Vogel off Gran Canaria, Spain, July, 1996.

She's a little scary looking on the close-up. Guess the wrack has done good by her.

If I was a marlin I would want her to hold my bill. Then push me back and fourth in the water

THERE IS A GOD !

and Stan has a photograph of her

Those who want to see a little more of her (fishing) seek out Gerard Aulong's videos.

I await any corrective comments to my "boyish enthusiasm" from plankton.

Note - it is still boyish enthusiasm even though I am a dirty old man nearly old enough to be her father.
