TIME OUT - FOUL - STOP THE CLOCK, WHATEVER -

A. Anybody who has never missed a fish at the gaff, hasn't attempted more then a dozen.

B. Glenn - I luv ya bro - Next year you will go 19-20. Its all a numbers game.

C. I personally have never missed the dock. Every single fish I have ever slung on the deck has either made it straight to the cleaning table or in the trash can. Honest.

THe only thing I have never missed was a happy hour and a meal.

thanks
Bill

LEADER GAFF ..?WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS...?I GAVE THAT CHIT UP YEARS AGO I JUST DRIVE THE BOAT & WATCH BILL TOSS DOLPHIN IN TO THE DRINK....

One dink in the drink and I am forever scarred for life.

This brings up a good question. What is the hardest fish to gaff? Mahi, Tuna, Mako. I personally think the wiliest fish at the gaff is a longfin. Those airplane wings allow them to be very manuervable especially if you have them outmatched on the tackle and they get to the boat green. Them suckers are PIA.

Glenn - I tried to get him and Jimmy to go out and find trouble this past monday when I got blown out of deep drop trip. Ole' Kung Fu would have nothing to do with it. 3 beers and he headed for the barn. I was shocked!
