Holding a modeling photo shoot can be hard work - even in the most exotic of settings. It can also be accompanied by stretches of inactivity and boredom.
Fishing breaks the boredom
During a photo shoot in Key West, Florida, it was not all pretty boy stuff. Four of our male models decided to pool their money and rent a fishing boat in the Florida Keys during their "off" time. None of the guys had extensive experience with deep-sea fishing, but they were all willing to give it a try.
One male model served as the "captain" and the rest happily volunteered to be the crew. They pulled up anchor and steered the boat onto the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A few miles off shore, they baited their hooks and threw in their lines.
Fishing for Grouper!
In short order, they were pulling in tuna, grouper and other local catch. One guy even hooked an eel. The models were amazed at their own success!
There is nothing cuter than college guys fishing. If you know of a cute college student on a campus nearby, you can nominate him to become a Campus Man. You can Nominate a Student to Become a Campus Man. The guy you nominate probably won't be headed to headed to the Florida Keys to fish for grouper anytime soon, but he will be grateful someone "nominated" him because of his "cute looks."
When no No Fish "bite"
A break in the action gave one guy a chance to do a little snorkeling. Another took advantage of the sun and privacy to do a little nude sunbathing. After all, no one was watching!
Friendships made
A day on the boat provided just the camaraderie our cast needed for a successful photo shoot. Several of the guys became fast friends and eventually took additional vacations together.
Dinner anyone?
The outing also provided a good meal for the rest of the cast and crew, as each model cooked the day's catch back at their rented condo.
Chartering a fishing boat turned out to be a great way to break the occasional boredom of a photo shoot. And Key West was just the place to try our fishing luck.
