BGA,
It went down nothing like you're thinking, but at least now we all know how you think.
Darin knows about the kayak community. Seen their 2013 catalog? Kevin Nakada is a Seeker guy and Team Staff guy as well. I gave him a basic run down on the LG, how it all began, how I initially met Kevin and was introduced to Seeker, and then the backpack got opened and off came the wrappers.
Nothing but good dude.
Now as far as a custom LG rod, that would be cool, but no need.
I think though that you have given me a new fun project. See exactly who from the fishing community I can get lollipop pictures with? I'm going to try to get one with the Seal Lady from the LJ cove first. Now that would be funny, but no thanks.
I've also got another idea. Let me know your thoughts. Make T-shirts that read, "Breathe if you hate the MLPA".
