  Err Kopio these images have already been resized more than 50% and there are so many so no I'm too lazy to resize them even smaller now :x Just too bad have to wait for them to load :P

  -------------------------------------------------------------------

  Anyway edit to add more pics on top

  The Bait Used... They used sotong too but no pictures

  

   

   

  Barrel or is it a tank they used to hold the fishes after caught

  

   

  Apparently they caught a lot of flying fishes too which they used as bait. Don't you think the flying fish is so pretty?

  

   

   Sotong they caught

  

   

  Stingray Caught

  

   

  Stingray and Shark....MPB says it's a shark. Is that a Dogfish Fatum?

  

   

  Oh ya they caught a baby Octopus too which they used as bait in the end. Video Clip of it here

  you're using online resize function? that takes forever~!

  next time u can use photoshop and at least reduce it to 72dpi, that way the file will be way smaller.

  i lazy.. sometimes, i just throw it into photobucket and let it reduce while i do other stuff 

  cool pictures...

  and poor occy

• kopiosatu

  6 Apr 08, 21:08

  yeah but while u pick ur photos, u can resize with the crop function.

  the files will be smaller and u can upload into photobucket super fast.

  it really saves time, u guys can try next time.

  I used photoshop already to resize it

  Not some online resize function

  Ok la I used the same size I do for all my pet pictures which I'm comfortable with

  And I'm lazy to re-photoshop all the pics again.

  I load the pictures onto photobucket than go do something

  Quite a few of them I think...need to ask MPB. He went to his mum's place to deliver the fish

   

  Ya he said the food was cooked by the crew and it's really good.

  Ya he enjoys trips like these which I don't appreciate

  He will have more fun without me around :P
