Hardest turquoise I have ever cut! Very rare black spiderweb turquoise

I found this turquoise chunk a few years back in Nevada in a

dried up creek bed. Only a small hint of blue was showing, lucky it was a sunny

day or I would have miss it. Followed the creek into the near by canyon to look for the mother load,

to no avail. Next year plan on returning to look for her again.

The stone weight was about 800 grams when I found it including the host stone.

After grinding it down, I was left with less than 300 grams.

Stripe Marlin on a fly

Its been a while sense I've fish there. 

Lots of good memories. It was very easy to hook stripe marlin

on a fly, but landing them was difficult! 

Great top water action for fly fishermen many kinds of fish.

Sometimes the whole bottom of the ocean around the boat,

would be gold & blue 1000's of Dorado. Every cast on top

water fly's you could hook one of these super fast high

flying beautiful fish!

This was average size. Sometimes up to 40lb.

Larger ones don't travel with the smaller ones. They can weigh in

                                  at 50 to 100lb. These fish grow at an incredible rate.                                    Pound per pound the hardest, fastest, jumping, fighting fish in the

Ocean!  I've caught them in many places around the world.

Rooster fish are also fun to catch.

They like to cruise the surf, sometimes the small ones like

to travel in packs of 3 to 5 fish. Big ones are loners & can weigh

over a hundred pounds. I've caught them fishing from the beach.

They are farely common from Baha Mexico to Panama.

Interesting how they come to the surface & make S turns with their

seven fins on their back sticking out of the water before they strike.
