Dear Sportfisherman

[Seaker]

I have bad news. You know that great lookin SFC tee shirt you give out when someone hits 100 posts. Well I was wearin it proud..never while bait fishin mind you . We made contact with a super cool research project and began tagging blue sharks with a group of scientist ...PSAT tags. We figured out how to handle the sharks, how to change our leaders to minimize damage, used all circle hooks, used a flying tailer, removed the hooks, got DNA samples, by bringing the beasties into the boat. Well mid day day two we bring in a thrseher bout 375-425 range. I'm on the leader and my mate says, "I don't care how much money you pay me I'm not tail ropin this beast!"

Threser gets released without the wrestling match

Big blue sharks are gettin tagged and day three don't you know Mr. Mako comes a callin and the team decides he's gettin tagged. OK

Tail rope on, leader in hand let's bring his back end in through the tuner door With a mightly pull on the tail rope and before you can say holy macoroni about 175 pounds of joy flips back and we have a pit full o mako

Big researcher guy, my mate and the team do a smack down and reseacher guy yells for a shirt to go over beats eye's.

I rip off my SFC shirt and throw it and they cover the mako's eyes and it calms right down....how cool is that..I think someone got a picture of the mako wearing a SFC tee

Anyhoo when the shirt came back well Got a hole in the butt and some teeth stuff in the right sleeve....

Is there any way you could maybe send me a new tee????

I wear it proudly but right now it only has marks that even chicks may not dig

Thanks for any and all considerations...

Pictures to follow in a day or three as they are all in the researchers camera's

Sincerely

I think the old shirt with pics should be framed and hung at SFC world headquarters ( somewhere in the swamps of Jersey). That's cool can't wait to see pictures. I vote for a new shirt (not that my vote matters). Thanks Tim
