65 a random number that has nothing to do with when I was born

Gaxiola is a Basque name. In Euskara, the language of the Basque people, it means fat guy in a little boat.

So, would you consider the one you caught in Catalina a Fat Flat Lamb?

I'm bored...My favorite fish to catch and eat! Caught my first in mid 90's around 60#s and have three more over 50#s since. More times than not I will always bring home a dorado! Have yet to catch one from kayak,will try someday.

Back in the 70's, I had a friend who used this 'handle' to refer to his fishing prowess. He ALWAYS seemed to be catching instead of just fishing. He was either a master...., or the luckiest SOB I've ever met.

He took a job in another part of the state and as he left he said, "Snatch the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper". Okay, he didn't say that. But he did say, "Okay, it's time. I'm passing the name on to you. Maybe you'll learn how to catch something for once with that stupid rod of yours!" And with that, he was gone.

I'm still trying to learn all of his secrets to fishing success. Since that day I've tried to live up to the name, Fishin' Magician.

My hunting buddy from Montana, also an ol' school biker, gave me the nickname Bwana. We spent a lot of time hunting and riding together.

He would throw parties for all our biker friends inviting them to a pig roast before we even went pig hunting.

Somehow the weekend before the party we would always get a pig or two.

He named me Bwana since I always got a limit and shot the largest animals.

I reminded him of a big game hunter leading a safari in South Africa.

Next thing I know all my riding and hunting friends are calling me Bwana.
