[Saba Slayer]

OK...the weather is too rough to fish or hoop so here goes...
Back in the mid 90"s when I used to fish Point Dume with Denis Spike (the grandfather of kayak fishing), and his cousin Howard Rose (Producer of the first "Kayak Fishing Video"), we used to call the guy that never caught anything but Mackerel on our outings the Saba Slayer.
When I first bought my 18' CC in the mid 90's my son and I were looking for a name for the new boat, he suggested Halibut Killer or Tuna Tamer but I wanted something different so I said how about Saba Slayer...my son liked it but he didn't know what it meant...the name stuck, and since then it's been pretty appropriate with the number of Macks that I harvest each season for Lobster bait.
I first used my screen name on the first kayak web site that I remember which was Denis Spikes' Coastal Kayak Fishing.com started in 97'. The "old" AllCoast PB board was also a good site back in the late 90's and I feel it was there that hoop netting really exploded.
Alright.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Jim / Saba Slayer
