Raving Amicks

OK, here’s the story.  I caught this really big bonefish at Christmas Island (Kirimati), had the guide take a picture.  I showed it to my friends and they agreed that it was the biggest fish we had ever caught on Christmas Island – 30 ” and maybe 10 lbs.  The biggest fish in some 400 plus man hours of our guys fishing over a decade or more.  But days later just before we left, I was by myself and taking some pictures of a fish I caught when then fish wiggled and I dipped the camera in salt water!  I immediately took out the flash memory card and put it in my pocket, but the damage had been done,  I had lost the picture of my trophy fish.  The flash memory was toast! I sent the card to a specialist in So. Carolina and he was unable to get any images off the card.  While at Macworld, I ran into DriveSavers and sent the card to them.  They opened the card in a cleanroom and were able to save the pictures.  Here’s a picture of the big guy.
