John Doolittle from Missouri sends us this wonderful picture his “team” who all go after walleye and pike in Canada every year. Here’s proof that fishing friends are friends for life! Thanks, John, for such a great picture!

Gunther van Ginneken has a real knack for catching some monster fish in Belgium. Check out the size of this recently caught yellow perch if you need some proof!

Alexander Martynov shows of a nice Russian pike caught recently. Amazing that these ferocious fighters are found on many continents.

What a perfect picture! James Goodrick shows off a nice smallie as well as one of our favorite hats!

Kamal Sultan holds a gorgeous grouper caught off Kuwait recently. If I have this right it’s January 7th and there’s no snow. Geez! Come on Spring!

There are G. Loomis fans and then there are G. LOOMIS FANS! James Goodrick is, in our opinion, a G. LOOMIS FAN(!).

Our pal Steve Slee sends this “warm” picture for all of us (unintended) snow birds to enjoy. As Steve says, “Here’s a shot from Southern Calif., mid-January, 76 degree air temp., surf fishing in shorts and a t-shirt. It doesn’t get any better.” We can’t believe Steve doesn’t pang for snow……

No one can look at this picture and say James Goodrick isn’t a truly dedicated fisherman. Not the halo he is having to wear if you need further proof. James, you are our hero!

Karl Ternay shows off an absolutely beautiful 12 lb steelhead he caught on a G. Loomis center pin rod. Simply a great picture!

Markus Schader from Hamm am Rhein, Germany holds a HUGE Rapfen (Aspius Aspius) caught the end of January in the River Rhein. Over 11 lbs and 32″ long this marvelous fish required 15 minutes to land.
 

Kamal Al Sultan holds 2 serious 15 lb Spanish mackerel recently caught in Kuwait. We sure wish it was as warm here as it obviously is there!

How’s this for a cobia? This big, bad boy was caught by Damien Ennis in Australia. We think he had his hands full both before and after getting the fish in the boat!

We liked this picture as it demonstrates that fishing can be as simple as we want it to be. Thanks to Alexander Martynov of Russia for this wonderful shot!

What follows are some fantastic pictures from Alexander Martynov from Russia. We usually only put one or two pictures from each person in the newsletter, but these were so exceptional that we though everyone would enjoy them. They make a great close to this issue of the newsletter. Enjoy!
