Good ol' Tonno Fartelli, hero to the italian people. Rub a dub dub 3 paisans in a tub.

I can see it now, me, Joey Monticolo and my dad in a dinghy cruising around the Big 10. The headline reads 3 goombah's presumed dead, when their 13 foot Boston Whaler drifted ashore at MHC with no one aboard, apparent boating accident. They'll be interviewing Marty for the evening news.... "This was no boating accident. This was no false ablacore or barracuda. And it sure as hell wasn't chesneyland. This was a TUNA! The pain, the pullage. Welcome to my world."

The next day Bog Monster will be at the ICCAT meetings screaming at people that they knew the GBFT was a dangerous fish, but they let us go fishing anyway. She will hang a flyer at Taco King (with Marty's permission of course) advertising a 69 cent reward to the man or men who kill the tuna responsible for killing her husband, father in law, and secret lover (just kidding, it is no secret that Joey and my wife have been lovers for some time).

Forward to the next day the docks at the Yacht Basin are overflowing. Gaffman with dynamite sticks wrapped in Banana Peels. Bill Pino handing out Rasta Bars with dildo chase baits. Reel Fool landing on a helo pad with all his new big fish heroes from OZ, Kona and New Zealand. Deep C with a box of mashers, smashers, trashers, and every other tuna lure in his arsenal. Hubris standing there questioning whether it is really fishing or not. Shark JP, nope he isn't there. Wheatdog throwing rods in the water, figures he might as well cut to the chase and save the fuel money. The WMO rules committee and lawyers in tow reading Bog Monster's flyer and giving it to the Carteret county court system. Then you see the Beast float by on the Run Off, shaking his head.

Later that night when several False albacores are hanging on the docks, and people are gutting King Mackerels looking for the remains of the Goombah fishing party, Me, Dad and Joey return from an uprecedented bender at Raps (even though they are only open from 5 to 8:15, except when there is an NFL game on, then it is 5:30 to 8)

Ooops, Squiddy, did I lose sight of what this thread was about?

[Squidnation]

that might just be the funniest thing I have read on this site. Raps - isn't open long enough to catch a buzz.

Just so long as the three of you aren't donning speedos then I guess the search would continue

[sling]

Watch what you say guys, Crocs are only a half an evolutionary step away from speedos.

That dude on the rod there kinda looked like Pino. Sure you didn't get your start tuna fishing in the 80's Yugoslav days? You probably found this video of the guy fighting a tuna fish on your youtube search for "slavic men in speedos".

Every hour is happy hour in the Pettolina household, can't you tell by the witty prose!

I have learned that I am not keeping up with SFC as, I am having a secret lvoe affair with my husband's best friend, and the only one who doesn't know about the affair is myself.
