It is really cool they way the guys on here are so congratulatory of others good luck, and hard work...but I have even seen the same attitude on the beach and on the water. I have been given squid three different times and gotten plenty of good advice from many of the guys. Hooking and landing a large sport fish is no easy task on a kayak, and I think that helps make the kayak fishing world a pretty friendly community. Good stuff!! I am proud to consider myself part of the pack. Just as a side note though...if you try to catch my yellowtail...there will be trouble...just kidding...see you out on the water soon...Robert
