Big ones, yeah, he'll say some were big, and cuss them a little bit, for ruining his knees and hips, lugging them up and over the berm to the buggy... he's had some replacements, done rehab.. I know he was codding some this winter, even tho he was limping about, and using a cane, then took a break for more surgery. But basically Jimmy's take, and talk, on fishing is  and ya know what, that's  He partnered with the 2 T's for a bit, especially when they did the Monomoy runs, but other than that he was a one rod, one slip, one check kind of guy. Get the one of the 2 T's to talk of him, Wow! your head will spin.
