Actually, I take everything back. Worst damage of 06 came at the Hatebreed/Killswitch show in Providence last night.
Very big ouch, thought I retore my ACL, but I can kind of walk now.
Told my mother about it today, to which she replied that I'm..."No spring chicken."
Nice, thanks Mom!
Later,
Rick

1. one damaged GSB custom.
2. lost korkers
3. scraped-up abus.
4. several black and blues from falling on the rocks.

...and it was worth all of it.

not much damage in '06! :cool: couple of sic tip tops, a few bruises, a few hook holes in me, gave away a lot of plugs to fisherman on rocks and sand. worst thing was being owned by a fish that i could'nt turn or stop :bc: all in all it was a good year.

forgot to add from my Jetty swim - my good luck Red Sox hat :o

2 pair of orvis clearwater waders(they are cheap so its kina expected)
2 headlamps
1 Frozen spheros 8000 handle


All in all not that bad of year for my gear but I didnt fish the surf as much as I wanted.

My list...
2 headlamps
1 pair of pliers (not expensive)
One VS handle bearing (replaced for free w/ 1 week turnaround)
one guide on my jig stick
1 pair of breathable waders
1 set of stainless bolts in my korkers
About 50 eel hooks
My trusty soft-side eel cooler
1 bag of rigged sluggos that fell out of my Skinz pocket when I was swimming after a bass (Ask JohnR :D)

I think when people state "Tangling with a Bass" they usually mean it figuratively, not actually taking a deep breath and going underwater :rotf3: :hee: :musc: :fishslap:

How many---- rods snapped in multiple peices//Tips broken//Guides snapped off//Wrecked props//Dents in hull//And that was when I was with you...
We had fun though...:rotf3:

Just ask how much equipment was driven over ? How many trucks were ruined stuck on top of a dirt mound? How many rocks were embedded with shards of fiberglass?

Thanx JR, forgot that..
More to come////:soon:

That spot is a bitch if they get an angle over that ledge...
Whatever it takes right :D
