I'm just a working guy and can't afford to keep it

Yep :)

Gret accounting
 

:laughs:

Kenny, you seem to be instilling a great value to your sons... nice.

I'm thinking the added cost for blowing off the wife has to double the figure in the off season. :p :smash:

Sorry slipknot i'm on b dock at hewitts cove in hingham:

That is good accounting, Hewitts Cove nice place. Welcome to the board.

spending the winter remembering-
scream of a drag as you finish lunch and dive for the rod
flat morning ride to your favorite secret spot
telling fish stories durring the superbowl half time
spending your tax return on a new reel that costs more than some of the cars you have owned


priceless......................................... .....

The $16 a pound is what the fish market will sell it to you for. Yu selling to them is like $2.75/lb if you are lucky.
