fiShBurNe… tHe hUnteR???

Many people probably don’t realize that I’ve spent just as much time hunting as I have fishing. I’ve always been an avid outdoorsman who enjoys all aspects of the numerous activities that we all participate in away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

All of that said, I recently found a copy of a hunting commercial I did a few years ago and thought it would be fitting to post it on the blog. The ad is touting a new gun case that…well…you’ll see. It’s only thirty-seconds in duration but the story line is well written and the lady who plays my wife in the spot is a good friend and totally makes it awesome!

These are the kind of jobs that I enjoy the most. Working with a crazy crew on location and getting to see how all that commercial stuff works. Hopefully we will be producing many more cool spots for sponsors in the upcoming year.

fiRst tRip oF sPriNg…aNd i’M reAdY!

Finally, tomorrow will be the first time this spring to officially launch the boat and try to land that lovely lady largemouth. First though, I need to check the weather, pick a location, find the sunscreen, lay out the fishing clothes, charge the batteries, fix some sandwiches, pack the cooler, may need rain-gear, choose some rods, fuel the truck, fuel the boat, spool some line, grab some tackle, sharpen hooks, don’t forget sunglasses, grease the wheel bearings, keys to the boat, check tire pressure, ice the cooler, load the tool box, throw in life vests, grab the  electronics, locate the paddles, hook up the boat, check the trailer lights, and oh, by the way, ”Is the plug in?”

And so on and so on and…

Man…this fishing stuff takes a lot out of you and I haven’t even made my first cast! Oh well, seems like the same thing every year. I wait until the evening before my first trip to the lake and I can’t find a thing that I need and all the maintenance that should have been done earlier was, let’s just say, overlooked? I will say that half the battle of successful fishing trips is all about preparation and organization. And it helps keep the place tidy and neat, something else I need to work on, maybe next year!

One item in particular that I’ll make sure to take along is a camera, just in case old Mama-Big-Lips decides to chomp-down on one of my offerings. And, if things go as planned, I should have a picture of my catch and the lure that worked best to display on tomorrow’s post.
I just hope that you’re as organized as I am!

eVe’S bLoG?… aWesOmE!

Some of you may recall that in one episode of The Fish Fishburne Show, a woman named Eve appeared as a guest. Well…the response to that show has been completely overwhelming, so we decided to invite her to post any thoughts or comments on Fish’s Blog. When she refused his calls…we simply offered to compensate her for helping us out because, as you know,  most of Fish’s entry’s are simplistic-childlike-dribble and if we’re going to continue to work with him, somethings gotta’ give. You may also remember that Fish had been dating Eve for a very short stint when his father asked her to appear on his show. Within days, she came to the realization that Fish acts exactly the same in real life as he does on the show and shortly there after…she bailed.

It now gives us great pleasure to welcome Eve to the Blog, (we really need her help) and if you like what she has to say, please leave your comments.

EVE’S BLOG ENTRY #1 - March 17th, 2000-11

I want to clarify that Fish’s parents did in fact compensate me to “date”, ( loosely used term) him for a short duration and I am receiving an additional payment to help save this ridiculous blog. The only reason for my participation at this point is because his parents are very nice people and I basically feel sorry for them. Imagine having a child like Fish. (keyword, child-like) Or, do yourself a favor and don’t even think about it. But, on lighter note, he is a really sweet guy who does a lot of kind things for his friends and family.

Also, some viewers made mention of the UT cap that I wore in the show and I wanted to clarify that Fish gave me one of his gO fiSH caps to wear which I refused. Also, I am not receiving any monetary consideration from the University of Texas, currently. 

Surprisingly, Fish does possess the wonderful ability to prepare some delicious meals. However, he’s quite secretive with his techniques and recipes. So, I thought it would be fitting to reveal one of his best kept secrets.

Have you ever wondered how top chefs always seem to serve wonderful tasting fish? From catfish to crappie and striped bass to bluegill, this technique works on all species. It’s a way to actually sweeten your catch by using two simple ingredients. 

Measure 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 1 gallon of cold water. Stir until thoroughly dissolved and submerge the filets in the solution. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Remove the filets, discard the solution, rinse and dry. Cook according to your favorite recipe or freeze the filets for later use. 

This will remove any fishy taste from your catch that you may have encountered and truly makes them taste light and sweet!

 Until next time, (if his parents can afford it, and if he’ll fix me another great meal)

gO eVe!

 

 ps. Fish if your out there, I really enjoy filet mignon and lobster tail. Hugs!

gOodnesS gRaCiouS……………gReAt baLLs Of coTtoN!

What do Cotton Balls and fishing have in common? Who cares? I just thought it would be cool to share a little FISH-TIP with you guys and hopefully you won’t make the same mistake I made. So…I’m a little tough on my equipment, I mean fishing rods are tools…right?And every once in a while they get stepped on in the boat or on the bank and the guides get a little banged up, bent and twisted. Then…You make a cast… hook a big fish…fight him for a minute…line breaks…words are exchanged between yourself and the equipment…you quickly re-tie…and the same thing happens again! All the while, your line looks like it’s been through a cheese grater. WHY? Because the guides that are cracked or chipped will fray the line until it breaks and Mr. Giant Jaws swims away… laughing!

 

“Ha-Ha, his line broke, his line broke!” 

UNACCEPTABLE!

So..here’s what you can do so you don’t pull a Fishburne.

Simply run the cotton ball through the eyelets on each guide and if there’s any damage done from your big clumsy feet, the cotton will hang on the damage and you’ll know to have that guide repaired. Now that’s good Maintenance-Material and I hope it helps you out this season!

 

ps. If you do have a damaged guide, have it repaired by a rod-builder.

stUFf yoU nEed tO knOw!

I’ve decided to start a weekly post called, stUFf yoU nEed tO knOw!…And the reason for this is simply, “education is what I’m all about,” and I feel that everyone, everywhere should add a little dose of “Fishburne-Intellect” to their diet.  So…what’s this week’s stUFf yoU nEed tO knOw?

 Humuhumunukunukuapua’a!

There you go…don’t you feel better? I told you it was important! People everywhere are talking about just how awesome this is…and now you can have wonderful dinner conversation with your family and share the joy of  Humuhumunukunukuapua’a with your friends!

What?…you’ve never heard of Humuhumunukunukuapua’a? Well…let me tell you all about it.

First of all it’s pronounced, [ˈhumuˈhumuˈnukuˈnukuˈwaːpuˈwɐʔə], and it happens to be the Hawaiian State Fish which is the reef, rectangular or wedge-tail triggerfish and it means, “triggerfish with a snout like a pig.”
And, there’s a song by the same name in Disney’s 1997 Highschool Musical 2!

 

What a beautiful Triggerfish!

So…there you go…what a cool state fish of Hawaii…and until next week…

gO fiSH!

Thoughts on Japan

Tonight, I’m watching CNN with my family. I’m having trouble comprehending the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Please pray for all of the people and their families who have been touched by this disaster. God, please bless all of Japan.
