About Me
- Mr. P.
- Bothell, Washington, United States
- I am a lifelong Washington State resident. I have been a licensed real estate agent since 1971. I have had the privilege of being a teacher since 1973. I taught Marketing and was the DECA Advisor at Marysville-Pilchuck High School from 1975-2009. I also taught Principles of Marketing through Everett Com. College. My wife, Katy, and I have been happily married since 1977. I am more madly in love today than I ever knew I could be. We enjoy the Pacific Northwest. We hike, kayak, and snowshoe. We also enjoy reading and writing, heck part of the time it rains here you know. My earliest memory is fishing with my dad when I was four years old; fishing is in my blood. I fly fish avidly and release all my fish. I have caught many species of trout, four species of Pacific Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass. My favorite species to fly fish for is Carp. Yes, Carp. They are smart, big, strong, wary, and in so many ways the world’s greatest sport fish. I serve as the National Fly Fishing Director for the Carp Anglers Group. I am the Fly Fishing Editor for North American Carp Angler magazine and I write a column called The Last Cast.

I picture a big old set of carp lips going from shoulder blade to shoulder blade like those crazy angel wing tattoos except not. Probably not what you had in mind but it would be pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteHa! Not quite McTage. I am thinking more like a side view of the whole fish that is on one arm just below my shoulder and is only about four inches long. I'm feeling wild and crazy but not that wild and crazy.
ReplyDeleteI would think about it myself if I hadnt sworn a solemn oath to never get a tatoo. You should contact Pat Cohen (Super Fly dude) about the art work. The tatoos he posts are really cool AND he actually knows what a carp attached to a fly looks like.
ReplyDeleteCool idea. Maybe I can get my wife to get one!
