Big Thanks to CLT CAPT

Wild Life Management · 07-15-2009, 03:30 PM

Have you ever paid with $10 but the cashier gave you change for a $20? That's kinda how I feel right now, and of course, I always GIVE BACK what I should.

So, last year I got a gaff from Fred, a beautiful 2" gaffer gaff. Well, one day during a cockpit clusterfu** this little gaff was used to stick an angry 80 pound tuna, and on it's way over the rail, the gaff became a little bent in the steel section. Really not a big deal, especially considering the abuse it was put through, and I bent it back and it was ready for action again.

Apparently this was unacceptable to Fred's standards because I got another gaff in the mail the other day. It had a little note attached that said something like "I made this one so it should be indestructible." Wow, I misuse a gaff and the builder sends me another one that is bullet proof.

Fred, that was totally unnecessary, but awesome at the same time. Thanks a bunch, can't wait to get the new gaff bloody.

AS A THANKS TO FRED, FOR YOUR B.A. GAFFS AND EXCELLENT "CUSTOMER SUPPORT", AND TO SIKORSKI AND ALL THE REST, FOR DOING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING TO SUPPORT SUCH A GREAT CAUSE, I AM GONG TO DONATE AN EXTRA 300 FAT ONES TO THE CAUSE. THANKS GUYS.
