Hey,

[SeisMec]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Cliff and I live in the Bismarck area. I'm married to my best fishing partner and have no kids. I've worked the offshore oil industry as a mechanic for close to 25 years and been in about 50 different countries.

Fishing is a great way to relax!

Distant if any at all , The only common trait that I know of is the thrashing about and flopping around when they get excited.

I think they are closer to the hairy-chested nuts scratcher.

Same phylum, different genus.

I actually work on a seismic survey ship and at one time we were allowed to fish off the vessel. Back then I also lived about 30 minutes from the Gulf Coast and have caught snapper, King Mac, speckled trout, bull red fish, black tip shark, flounder, grouper, a small tarpon, sheephead (which they make fake crab from) and many others. Also have thrown a cast net and caught a few dozen 60 quart ice chest of shrimp and trapped a few sacks of blue crab. Now days the laws are so strict that if someone gets caught fishing off a commercial vessel without a commercial license the vessel can be impounded and a large fine levied against the ship owner.

for example....I have a picture someplace on one of my hard drives of 2 "security guards" in Lagos Nigeria leading their guard hyenas around the building they were guarding.
