I've seen starfish caught on hook and line before but, never one that big. Great set Angela. Makes me want to get out there and go fishing.

Angela, another nice set. I actually seen these on your flickr earlier today. You do a good job capturing color in your photos! NZ is such a beautiful place, you should be thankful for all the opportunities for quality photos you have!
