Hey I’m Supposed To Be Frothing At The Mouth Not You!
People tell me all the time that I must be sick of eating lobsters but in fact I love eating them. Nothing better!
Here’s a picture Ashley Pickett took of this particular lobster frothing at the mouth. I wonder what he is thinking about eating.

Good Times!
This is the kind of work for only the hard core. Most men would be curled up in the fetal position down below puking their brains out. But the boys aboard the Trapper John slogged their way through a brutal day at sea.

Offloading Barnacle Encrusted Lobster Gear For Cleaning
I took these shots with my new cameraphone The HTC EVO. It tends to over saturate pictures and isn’t nearly as good a camera as my Sony DSC H20 but the beauty of it is that I can take a picture and post it to the blog in mere seconds. That is how I got you guys the Greasy Pole and Seine Boat results within 30 seconds of each finish beating every other media outlet by many hours and days.
I was sitting on the forktruck (the black bar in the middle is the mast of the forktruck) when I took these shots

One of Chris Orsillo (Trapper) tattoos.
The paw print is a bear paw. He tells me that Orsillo stands for little bear in Italian hence the bear paw. Then he has a claw dangling representing each one of his brothers and the two feathers hanging down represent his parents.
