View Full Version : Determination.....
Back Beach 07-31-2008, 02:51 PM I've met many hardcore surfcasters in my life. This guy gets the nod from me as perhaps the most hard nosed and determined guy I've ever fished with. Congrats to Mike V. (Redlite) on a great catch from the surf a few nights ago. Fish went 46#.It was one of 13 big fish he took that night. You da man, Mike. :btu:
RIROCKHOUND 07-31-2008, 02:56 PM Mike certainly is hardcore.
Great job redlite!
The Iceman 6 07-31-2008, 03:06 PM Awesome Redlite, congratulations. Great catch.

JohnR 07-31-2008, 07:14 PM Congrats Mike :btu:
Fishing with Mike is Pure Entertainment AND he's got a nose for the basses. Did I mention intense?
fishsmith 07-31-2008, 07:59 PM I still like the way he tangles with the seagulls.
Nice fish Mike!!
tynan19 07-31-2008, 08:08 PM Nice fish Mike! Those look like TO's Crocs!
jim sylvester 07-31-2008, 08:09 PM Nice fish redlite!!!!
Pete_G 07-31-2008, 08:32 PM Tenacity, determination, and the will to keep fishing when it's slow are under-rated skills (and in many ways it IS a skill) in fishing.
Nice fish Mike.
Sea Dangles 07-31-2008, 08:55 PM WOW!!!! an honest cow.
Nice job Mike.
Raven 07-31-2008, 09:45 PM you win

rickhern 07-31-2008, 10:31 PM Great job Mike, you are certainly hard-core. Thanks for the "Flash", it says alot about you as a person. Many guys would have done whatever they could to prevent someone from getting in on that type of action. For certain if you ever "Flash" me again, I will walk on water to get there:)

Great fish Mike .. You definately work hard and deserve it .. great guy too ..
planter 08-02-2008, 04:37 AM There are those of us who are just happy to catch and then there are the masters. The guy who truly knows what he's doing and gets it done even in the worst of times.
Not to say I don't like to catch an old fashioned keeper but if a couple of cigars to keep the no-seeums away and a frosty or two as well as a pal to laugh at can be mastered I can fit into that category.
NICEFish and you are one of those guys that separates the men from the boys !
ProfessorM 08-02-2008, 09:31 AM Nice job Mike. No rest for the weary.

pbadad 08-04-2008, 06:12 PM CONGRATS MIKE .
5 String Bass 08-04-2008, 08:33 PM I don't actually know Mike, but I met him once earlier this year. I was leaving a spot @ around 2 O'clock in the morning and he was just getting there. We shot the sh*t for a few minutes, and he was telling me he was going to be fishing with a wetsuit and eels, swimming out to the distant rocks I had passed on the way back to my truck, way out in the dark murky night. All I could think, at the time, is that this guy must have a screw loose or a deep desire to be consumed by sharks! I left thinking "how hardcore is that???" and, later on, actually started tossing the idea of getting a wetsuit around in the back of my head (still a possibility if I can get the nuts up to do that) Oh yeah, it was a worknight and I believe we both had to work early in the morning...
Congrats on the nice fish, Mike. Something tells me you earned it.
Back Beach 08-05-2008, 08:25 AM :fishin: He's at it again....
