It's a shark hook

Edit: Well glory be!! Would ya lookee there. TREVOR!! Glad to see ya Bud.

You too Jerry!
That's a NICE fish, LOL!
Been in Vegas all summer..........

The fish is just me still horsing around, keying off that big ole hook.

Well ya shoulda stayed in Vegas, cause it's going to be a whole lot warmer there than Alaska. I am glad to "see" ya.

What a huge fish! Great picture, Jerry.

Yes that hook may have been used for Shark but it could be used for Tuna or other large fish.
Some hooks are very specific to species. I don't fish for big game fish.

But ........... I mentioned two hooks.

I'll be headed back there soon, supposed to be 15deg here in a few days. Hope you've been well my friend......you too Phil. Missed you guys.

Joe, I noticed that and I called myself looking, but I only saw one hook, one paper spring clip, one two inch rule and one platter.

Let me check again.......

Still only see one hook.

Quite the contrast.

I have trouble tying a good Palomar knot with half inch steel cable, anyone else?

That was a problem for me too until I lowered the bar and settled for Fontinalis.

I'm still trying to see a second hook. I'm going with the "I'm old" excuse just in case it's obvious. ___Dave

Finally found the little hook.....Sure would have been easier if it was down on the plate.............

Look to the right of the barb of the big hook. ON the big hook.

Did you click on the picture twice? Fully enlarge it. Then look where I said.

This shows where I think it is.

I'm with you Tommy. I see it now but I would have NEVER seen it without help.

Grump01, Yes, but that wouldn't have been near as much fun.

I have a bunch of Mustad size 28s. When I saw these Gamakatsu size 30 I just had to have them.
Smallest hook I've ever seen. And there "barbless"! I love barbless hooks.
If I could pass a law, all freshwater sport fishing hooks would be barbless.

Timepiece wall.

JPDave,
Looks like you do enjoy your time pieces! Looks like they are all on the same time. Your picture reminded me of the watch I wore when I retired. I hung it by the buckle on a shelf in our utility/mud room. It ran for about 3 years hangin' there till the battery gave up the ghost. I gave it to a friend, he had a battery installed and wears it everyday. When I had a good watch, I would usually end up destroying it some way at work so I just bought the Timex and never could tear it up .

After planting some Bromeliads and a few other plants on the south corner of my yard today I tried to get a shot of the setting sun highlighting the color... ...when out of nowhere this guy on a motorcycle suddenly zoomed past... (in case you're wondering, he's wearing the "colors" of the HHHMC...Hawaii Head Hunters Motorcycle Club)
