david, you fish? glad you guys got out too.

 

[Bret]

Good Job guys! It sure was nice out there! I bet that young man is hooked for sure now!

 

[Argo]

these kids that fish with us offshore are going to be spoiled when they grow up and realize the effort that goes into getting fish that are of the quality they catch now. Funny think is, my son likes catching anything under 15 lbs more than he likes catching anything over 15 lbs. He likes watching people catch 60 lb wahoo but he loves catching 5 lb chubs.

Man I can't believe you didn't let that young boy ride that big turtle. What's wrong with that long haired hippie fella ? He's frowning . He didn't catch enough fish or what ???

Next time let me know when your headed out,maybe I can go with you and bring my innertube . I got it all rigged and RED I !!!!!

Maybe you can bring that Flour Bluff fella with ya next time , that midnight electrical boy , he'd catch that hammer.Or bring that other boy from SA that looks like Chico from Chico and the Man. I here he spears them big Ajs with a flounder gig.

Ok by now

Brake o rod
