DIY Gaff
During that week of rain I made a nice little gaff for my kayak. I like to make things that I can rather than buy them. Pretty stoked how it came out. I have repaired gaffs in the past but this is the first, from scratch, one I have made. Even put it to work since........
Funny thing is, the first fish it stuck wasn't mine (you know who you are, I'll let you share your glory). I also made a nice cover for my kayak I might post later.

I just realized I should have put this in the innovations thread.....sorry.
This is a ratan escrima stick. They are super buoyant and heat treated so you can whoop dogs if needed. You know, in self defense.

Don't you have some bait to eat?? Or maybe, by the looks, you ate it all?

Whoa...whoa...whoa...Brian. Meet my beatch arse friends Jorge (don't call me Jorgie, as in Jorgie Porgie Putnam Pie, kissed a girl and made her cry, etc...) and Tony ("Let me see...why'd you do it like that? Okay, whatever dumbass"). Between bites, we're trying to have some BWE fun. We share as little real info as possible...we smack talk...we bitch slap (sometimes quite hard, lol)...and yes, we're usually eating good food! Some dudes get it. Quite a few don't, lol. I'm thinking you're Old School like us. Be cool, slap back and keep private messaging me your local bite. One of these days, I might just drop something into your in box that's not brown and stanky! Peace brotha, Jim
