Thanks guys!
Who in the world writes a post, with a giant slam in the first few days of the month and doesn't even write a reply? Sorry guys, I've been working around the clock with sleep being a rare commodity. I did log on today and all private messages have been replied to as well.

Unfortunately, no, I'm still six foot something and 230 lbs. What I would do to be 5', 120 lbs when wet. My fish would look freakin' huge! Quote:
I'll blame the $hit eating grin on genetics. Besides, I really don't see the point in false advertising. On the rare occasion that I do smile---it's genuine. I'm looking forward to seeing your slam at the witching hour, though. Along with Deepdvr, Whizbang, Bellcon, Regor and Sharonkayak, of course. I'm rooting for each and every one of you . Quote:
I did have the slam completing WSB on the line within twenty four hours, though. Does that put me into the hall of fame? No? Damn. Quote:
Whatever it takes to get you fired up, Don---so be it! It was nice seeing you yesterday. The slam is yours for the taking! Quote:

The adventure and thrill of the hunt is what it's all about for me. The look on a clients face with a fifty pound fish in their lap is nothing short of, well, priceless. It's certainly worth more than $19 a pound if you asked me. It's a magnificent moment that they'll remember forever. Perhaps, a catalyst for them and their family to enjoy this great sport and all it has to offer. A commercial fisherman flops a fifty pound biscuit on deck and yawns . After a year in that business, I doubt the heart rate even goes up! In a perfect world their wouldn't be commercial fishing for these local prized fish. There would be ridiculous, massive schools, of giant, White Sea Bass all along the Coast. I understand the stock is healthy with the commercial fishery so I'm not knocking what they do. Making a living from the ocean isn't an easy business. It requires tons of work with very little pay in most situations. I'd just love to see what our fishery would be like---if gill-nets and commercial fishing didn't exist. Then again, I guess I wouldn't be employed if catching White Sea Bass, Yellowtail and Halibut was too easy either.
