Fishing again (finally)

August 22nd, 2013 by Zac

I’m a fisherman from my childhood, thanks to my parents, who encouraged it and loving men like Bill Bennet, Shorty Jones, Arnold Jacobs & Lavon Post who took the time to teach me.

But fishing in Slovakia is another story. I always dreamed of being able to fish here, but language and the red tape of getting a fishing license always intimidated me.

But this year, after 11 years living here, I had a break through. I met a Slovak fisherman who was willing to guide me through the process of getting my fishing license. And guess what? I’m fishing in Slovakia!! 

My first fish was a big fat Karp (the sacred fish of Slovaks). I know – a “junk fish” by American standards, but it was fun to catch and quite an experience to clean it. And a whole other experience to try to eat it!

 

But I’m glad I had the experience. Maybe one day I’ll be fortunate enough to catch a Slovak trout or some other exotic Slovak fish. But for now, most of the thrill is just being a fisherman again.

Some American/Slovakian history trivia?

April 19th, 2013 by Zac

Everyone knows this famous picture of a group of men eating lunch over Manhattan. I recently read an article in a Slovak news paper that claimed that the worker on the far right is a man from Eastern Slovakia named Gusti Popovič. Truth or urban legend? Probably we will never know.
