FISHING MAGAZINES....BLAAHHH!

[Bert Rodgers]

I guess I'm an old timer when it come to the internet. There is such a thing as "Internet Etiquette", and it DOES involve typing in mixed-case letters. Back in the days of teletypes, you had no choice - everything was in capitals. Today, there is a choice of upper case and lower case letters. If you look at the keyboard in front of you, there are a couple of SHIFT keys and a CAPS LOCK key. Try pressing them. In your case, I'd say the CAPS LOCK key is stuck. Just press it. The letters will change in appearance.

Basically, CAPS are supposed to be used for EMPHASIS and if you type in ALL CAPS, it is the equivalent of YELLING!

If you choose to ignore that kind of "Internet Etiquette", it's up to you. I realize it can be hard for old dogs to learn a new trick, but, that is the reasoning behind it and it makes sense to me.

There is also such a thing as a signature, and CAPS are Marty's sig.

I took enough crap about the whole Mako movie thing so I sure hope that one of you guys can do an instructional video.......really!
Deep, do you blast them or give them the Marrie Antwinett treatment.

My order of dispatch on the torpedos is multi step under ifdeal circumstance. I prong em with a flyer in the third gill, release of sleepy maker .390 in their control center than slap a tail line on em. They NEVER come in the boat til its time to come home.
If no flyer or piece is available then my number one is a tail line tied around the line and slid down over their head and toward the tail. Cinch that bugger down and cleat off way way short. a second one goes on to tame that head and stretch em out...
Sticking them with a blade is like pissing on an oil rig fire...
I have had people hurt aboard boats I have fished long ago from makos. Nothing life threatening but some pretty serious stuff. To make my point about never bringing one in is that three of the injuries came from makos that came in by them selves! A severed achilies tendon, a good solid bite and a broken leg were among the wounds.
I'm known for a colorful disposition but I have only laid a hand on a fellow crew member once in nearly thirty years. I was bent over the transom getting ready to do my tail line over the head thing. I saw a glint of steel come over my shoulder as one of the drunken macho men decided to drill it with a straigh gaff. The shark rolled and had me wraped up with it in the tail line. The gaff turned to a pretzel and now I was curling a hundered and a half of pissed mako. No where to go but the deck. . We landed hard and as I got free from the critter I dove taking the angler in the chair with me to the safety of the salon. When I caught my breath, I found our macho man and laid a lightning bolt right between his eyes.
He not only risked his safety but the safety of my angler and me. Before that mako cooled down it had flicked two inetrnational 50 outfits over and did a couple grand of damage to the pit...
Mr or Mrs Mako really needs to be treated with the ultimate respect.

Thanks Deep. That all makes sence to me. I can see how that death roll thing could have turned into something really ugly. You be sure to take care of Sea Biscuit when he gets there.

Rocks, you hit the nail on the head.

[Deep C]

I can't be sure why but I'm really doing a lot of focus on Sea Biscuits trip. He wants a swordie bad and I want to see to it he gets as good of a shot as I can provide. I always give 110% but sometimes I really get a hard on to make a special memory. He seems like a terrific guy so pulling all the tricks is my pleasure...

[SeaBiscuit]

Thanks for the kind words Marty and Paul.
Although I would love to catch a sword, my primary reason for going to Fla is to meet and fish with Paul. I like his style, believe in his abilities and plan to enjoy watching him do the work he loves.

So BOX what really gets under your skin I need to know for when I really want to stir the pot???PEACE

Put the Shortrigger over the Long rigger, put them backwards in the clips. Hook the Teasers up backwards. Then and only then, slip of your boots, kick on some flip flops and sit down in the fightin chair with a bowl of Bannanna Puddin. If this doesn't do it. CALL A PARAMEDIC, There is something wrong with the BOX.
