I'M STILL JUST A REDNECK REBEL-INTRO

[WAHOONBOX]

HELLO WORLD.....'BOX HERE. "WELCOME TO MY WORLD".....I MEAN ...WELCOME TO YOUR WORLD!

I MADE AN INTRODUCTION OF MYSELF TO SPORTFISHERMEN.COM BACK IN JAN 2005 AND SO NOW I WISH TO RE-DO THAT VERY INTRO FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO SFC. Welcome! Climb Aboard W/ This Rebel!

I HAD NOT THE SLIGHTEST IDEA AT THAT TIME IN JAN 2005 WHERE I WAS HEADED OR WHICH DIRECTION SFC WAS HEADED........I WAS POSTIVELY ASSURED BY CAPT JOHN EPPEHIMER THAT WE (SFC) WAS HEADING TO THE TOP RUNG OF DA LADDA' IN THE INTERENT FISHING FORUM WORLD.

WOW.....LOOK AT SFC NOW!!!

WE HAVE CAPT JOHN EPPEHIMER IN JOISEY LOOKING OUT FOR US....AND WE HAVE THE BRAZILLAIN GOD OF THE INTERNET HIMSELF ...JER....LOCATED IN THE DMZ WAY WAY WAY SOUTH ...BRAZIL TO BE EXACT....HOLDING OUR HAND THROUGH STRIFE AND TRIBULATION! THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU!!


WHAT A FABULOUS WORLD SFC HAS BECOME IN JUST 3 YEARS........SPORTFISHERMEN DOT COM HAS SURPASSED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS AND EXCELLED AND VENTURED WHERE NO OTHER FORUM IN THE WORLD HAS DARED GONE.....DO YOU REMEMBER THE SEPTEMBER HELLSGATE VISIT BY THE ADMIN TO NEW ORLEANS?...THEN ON TO WAR-TORN VENICE WITH THE "STUFF-A-CAMPER" WITH PROHEAT, FLAT', CAPT D AND THE ADMIN? .... WHAT ABOUT THE COVERAGE OF ALL THE MAJOR TOURNYS ON THE EAST COAST AND AS OF LATE.........THE PACIFIC ADVENTURES WITH MELTONS BRINGING US SOME TORID ACTION!

THE LEFT COAST HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE SMALL SCREEN PEOPLE ! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE WORLD WOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY CALIFORNIA AND CABO TOURNYS AS WE DID ! THE WMO? THE MID-ATL 500? THE BARTA....THE MIAMI BOAT SHOW? THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!!!

OUR NUMBERS HAVE GROWN TO 15,000 ROCK N ROLLIN REGISTERED MEMBERS.......I SAID 15,000. ......SURE OTHER FORUMS MAY DISPLAY A HIGHER LIST PRICE THAN WE ....BUT NONE CAN EQUAL THE QUALITY....THE PASSION AND COMMRADERIE FOUND HERE ON SPORTFISHERMEN DOT COM.

WE MUST SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS GUYS AND GALS!!! WITHOUT THEM THERE WILL BE NO SFC!! NOW GO VISIT THEIR WEBSITES....LET THEM KNOW WE ARE READING! I KNOW THERE MANY OF YOU WHO BUY EXCLUSIVELY FROM SFC SPONSORS....I BET IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS HAVE EXCHANGED HANDS AMONGST SFC MEMBERS! ....FOR THIS, I TIP MY RIGGERS TO ALL OF YOU

THE INTERNET IS A FUNNY PLACE AND AT THE SAME TIME...A DIFFICULT PLACE TO UNDERSTAND AND/OR INTERPRET...........TAKE MY CAPS ABUSE ....I MEAN MY CAPS USE FOR INSTANCE.....

HAVING BEEN SCORNED FOR YEARS FOR MY CAPSLOCK ABUSE.....I NOW FEEL IT IS RATHER "ACCEPTED" BY THE MASSES WE SHALL SAY...............THE CAPSLOCK AIN'T NOTHING BUT A CAPSLOCK......I ALWAYS SAY THIS: " IF CAPS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING, DOES ALL LOWER CASING MEAN YOU ARE WHISPERING"???

TO THE THOUSANDS OF NEWER MEMBERS HERE ON SFC......I WELCOME YOU FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE....FOR ME....SFC IS A HOME.... A HOME OF LOYALTY .... A HOUSE OF LAUGHTER ...A BUILDING OF LEARNING....A FOUNDATION THAT PREACHES & TEACHES THE PASSION OF WORLDWIDE OFFSHORE/INSHORE FISHING

I HAVE BEEN A COCKPIT MONKEY FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS ......GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY FISH I HAVE LOST OR HOW MANY I HAVE BOXED......AND I TOO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY I TOSS A DOCK LINE.....I READILY ADMIT I DO NOT KNOW IT ALL! AND I TOO YEARN TO ABSORB FROM THOSE OF YOU WHO CLAIM THE SAME PASSION AS I.

TOURNAMENT FISHING HAS BEEN MY PASSION FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW......I HAVE WON A FEW (SOME IN THE SMALL MONEY DAYS) .....AND I HAVE LOST A LONDON LOAD OF THEM AS WELL.....I BET I HAVE BEEN TIED FOR THIRD PLACE 15 TIMES IN MY CAREER ONLY TO BE BUMPED OUT OF THE MONEY BY THE TIME FACTOR (RELEASE TIME)...............I WILL TAKE THIRD PLACE MONEY ANYTIME

I HAVE ENDURED 9 YEARS OF PIT LONGIVITY ON THE LATE "JUNEBUG"........4 YEARS ON THE "TOPHOOK".......2 YEARS ON THE "SCARLET FEVER".....AND ALMOST 5 YEARS WITH THE LEGANDARY CAPT BRIAN HARRINGTON OF "RUN-OFF" FAME......AND AS OF THIS FALL.....I WILL BE WORKING SOME WITH CAPT DARYLL, BLWC, ON THE "BLUEWATERLADY"......

I HAVE JUST SPENT 2 SUMMERS ABOARD THE "SEA SPLENDOUR" WITH WHITEY AND HIS DAD ENGAGING THE DIRTY WHITE BOYS OF OCEAN CITY AND CAPE MAY.......I HAVE EITHER SEEN, FOUGHT, OR RELEASED A BILLFISH EVERY SINGLE DAY I HAVE BEEN ABOARD THE SEA SPLENDOUR...............I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT CAPT RON HAS GOT IT GOIN ON WITH THE BRIDGE STUFF AND ALL , WOULDN'T YOU AGREE? A BILL EVERYDAYON THE EAST COAST IS SAYING SOMETHING!.

I DO LOVE THIS SPORT ......THIS OCEAN HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME AND FAMILY.....IT HAS PRODUCED THE UPS...AND IT HAS PRODUCED THE DOWN$.....AND YET I CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE MY 57 YR OLD BODY NOT TO BECOME A PIT CORPSE AND LINGER IN DA TWILIGHT......

WHILE I DO WILLINGLY ACCEPT THE FACT I AM NOT 25 ANYMORE......I AM NOT READY TO RETIRE MY GAFF ..... NO FREAKING WAY JOSE!!!

I THINK ONE OF THE MANY FACTORS THAT THE DMZ NORTH THIS YEAR ENJOYED SUCH A COOL WAHOO BITE WAS THE FACT THAT WAHOONBOX WAS WHITE MARLIN FISHING WITH ANDY AND GW273 ALL SUMMER!!!! OF COURSE BAYWOLF AND O-SEA -D TOOK UP THE SLACK DOWN HERE WITH MY ABSENCE!

TWO NC GOVERNORS CUP BILLFISH CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2000 & 2005 I HAVE TO CHERISH .....THANKS CAPT WILL AND THANK YOU CAPT BRIAN! IT DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

WELL ENOUGH OF MY SCRIBBLE AND DRIBBLE


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....WELCOME TO MY WORLD IS YOUR WORLD......COME HERE AND BE BOLD....POST UP AND BRING YOUR WORLD TO THE LIL SCREEN ! .....TAKE INITIATIVE!....BRING YOUR ACTION TO THE CYBER MASSES HERE ON SFC.....IT CAN BE ANY SUBJECT....IT DOESN'T MATTER! ........AND WHILE I LAY NO CLAIM TO BEING A SAINT...I DISLIKE THE EFF WORD IN THIS FORUM......AND I START NO FIGHT WITH NO MAN.....I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO STAND UP AGAINST BULLSHIT AND THATS THE WAY IT IS.....I HAVE MADE GILLIONS OF FRIENDS ALONG CYBERSWAY.....I WANT THIS TO CONTINUE ....IF YOU HAVE A RIGGING QUESTION.....THEN START A THREAD! THIS WAY....SFC WILL BENEFIT AND YOU WILL GET 50 WORLD CLASS ANSWERS INSTEAD OF JUST ONE SIMPLE ALL-CAPS ANSWER FROM ME VIA A PRIVATE MAIL.

DON'T LET YOUR WORLD FADE AWAY WITHOUT SHARING YOUR PASSION...AND SHARING YOUR GREAT DAY ON THE WATER .....


AND ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY!.........HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEW RELEASE FROM KID ROCK? ...."SO HOTT" ..........GEEZUS H THRICE THERE IS A ROCK N ROLL GOD LOOKING OUT FOR US!

Box, its been great knowing you for the past 8 or so years. Little did I know that the day I walked up the stairs at "Bahama Bobs" to the sound of thhhhamp....thhhhamp of your arrows in the attic would I be blessed with the great times of you in the pit of the boat with me at the wheel and the blood on the decks. Last winter went by to fast for me and I'm looking forward to the time we will do it again and again. You truly have a heart of gold and thanks for sharing all you do...
