. . . I hoped that my post was fishing related enough, even though it was not Striped-Bass related. I didn't want it to be a blog about some guys trip to some contry that one could care less about.

I read the excellent posts about the herring and the eel and pray that what has happened over in the Philippines does not happen here. In the markets I had seen anywhere from 6 inch to 14 inch Tuna of all kinds and sizes along with some billfish as there are no minimum size or maximum catch limits over there, it is a free for all, and is the reason why there are fewer fish and smaller fish and why the fishermen have to go farther and spend more time to get anything, it is pathetic what they had done, but in a way, they didn't know any better.

Technology allows us a better life, medicines and vaccinations keep people going, that coupled with a sweet climate and the population grows out of control, more mouths to feed and so on. I think I had better stop and get off my soapbox here. In any case, I'm glad you liked the post, I wished I had gotten more pictures however at the time I only had with me one disposable digital camera from CVS as I planned on buying disposables over there so I saved my shots as it was tough finding a camera for sale outside of the city, after all, they really mean it when they say that people have more important priorities than taking pictures, but next time I'll be armed with nothing but cameras and hopefully a sweet digital one.
